Each ball needs 3 or 4 kitchen sponges. (I picked up a 10 pack for $1 at the Dollar Tree). You want plain sponges without the scrubbing pad. Cut them longways so they are skinny. Do this by cutting them in half then half again so that one sponge yields 4 pieces. Stack 12 pieces onto a ribbon and tie tightly in a knot. Trim extra ribbon and fan the sponge.
We played with these in the bathtub but I think they would be fun in the pool. Little man liked to squeeze the water out and throw them. He kept trying to throw them OUT of the tub which was a little bit of a problem since they hold so much water... so we might have to save these for summer!!
Click here for an online tutorial that gives more details on how to make them. It's the one I followed.
