Great idea for a splish splash summer party!! I am so going to do it!
we made these sponge balls last summer and they were great fun for my little guys. and easy enough for even me to make.
I made these today…so easy…and soo cute. I used to think I was creative and crafty but all these wonderful ideas put me to shame. Thank you.
Can not wait to make these. My little boy plays with a car wash sponge all of the time I think he will love these.
Great idea! Would love for you to share this at my Summer Fun Fest Linky Party on Monday! Visiting from TT&J
These are a great idea! My daughter loves to play in the water and these will be perfect for her!
THIS IS AWESOME <— yes, i'm yelling. because IT'S AWESOME!

Thanks for the great tutorial! I featured you on my blog http://onecharmingparty.com/2011/03/23/water-party-sponge-ball-tutorial/
Thanks for the great tutorial. I featured you on my own blog! http://thecraftyblogstalker.blogspot.com/2011/07/sponge-balls.html
Where can I find fun colored sponges?! My grocery stores don’t have any
Hi Marlee–We found colored sponges at the dollar store and Target. Good luck! xo
I made these for my Kindergarten summer students and I hope you don’t mind if I share a tip that I do. I use small clear rubber elastic bands to hold the cut sponges (wrap around twice), then I tie with the dental floss. No need for an extra set of hands this way.
Hi catherine–I used small elastics too, last time I made them. So much easier. Thanks for the tip. xo
What fun – I find that toys like these colorful sponges provide more fun and entertainment than expensive pool toys. Great idea – can’t wait to try it. I think the sponge “balls” will be fun for all ages.
Wow! So cute, fun, and also easy to make! If you don’t mind I’d like to give a tip!! Ok, so I didn’t happen to have elastics or dental floss so I decided to use heavy duty duck tape! Works like a charm!! Please try this out and comment back to me! Thanks you can also contact me by e-mail!
Hi!
We just featured a link to your blog for the tutorial on making these lovely sponge balls on our blog http://www.ickyyuckymucky.wordpress.com. In India, we celebrate a festival called Holi which is incredibly messy with colours and water balloons. Combine that with our book for children titled Icky, Yucky, Mucky! Perfect idea for an Icky, Yucky, Mucky Holi!
What a great summer activity . My grand kids will love this.
Thanks for the idea

[...] It wouldn’t be a party at my house without some type of DIY. These sponge splash balls are a summer staple with my family. We make them at the beginning of the summer to take to the pool or just to throw around in the backyard. All you do is cut up the sponges into strips and tie with some yarn. It is a super fun and super easy DIY. For the party we are just going to have a splash ball fight and throw them around the yard. Other games we are going to play are: balance the cup of water, water balloon relays and of course the dunk tank! The kids can also take these sponge balls home as party favors at the end of the day.

[...] Ah, summertime! I am always looking for new ways to keep C and his short attention span entertained. I’ve been seeing these sponge balls popping up on Pinterest as an alternative to water balloons. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big water balloon fan. The fun is pretty short lived, and at the end all your left with is a balloon-littered yard. So, I decided to give this idea a try! It turned out to be pretty easy, and provided lots of family fun! There are a lot of links to tutorials, but I followed this one. [...]
