Sponge Bombs!!!

Oklahoma is soooo stinking hot!!! It has been up in the 105-110 degrees for weeks now. My kids are dying to go outside and play but due to the immense heat, I can only let them out for 10 minutes at a time.

Today I made Sponge Bombs!!
I bought some cheap packages of sponges from the Dollar tree. I cut each sponge into fourths.

I guess I could have stacked them one color on top of another and it would have worked out fine but I decided to be a bit more creative and stack them almost checkerboard like.
I took the sponges and tied them off in the middle. They turned out so well and the kids love them!!
