Activity - Juggling Balls

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• 1/2 cup of uncooked instant rice
• Plastic sandwich bag
• Rubber band
• Medium-sized balloons (3)

LET'S GET STARTED:

Scoop 1/2 cup of uncooked instant rice into a plastic sandwich bag. For heavier balls, you may substitute the rice with dried beans or clean sand. Pinch the bag tightly around the rice, squeeze out any air, make it into ball shape and secure the ball shape with a rubber band. Cut off the excess plastic bag near the rubber band knot.

Cut the tip off the neck end of two sturdy, medium-size balloons in contrasting colors. Stretch one of the balloons over the filled bag, making sure the rubber band side is completely covered. The balloon should fit very tightly. Snip three or four 1/4-inch holes randomly on the second balloon. Stretch it over the ball, covering the opening of the first balloon. The cutouts will reveal the color of the first balloon.

Make several balls with a variety of cutout shapes and colors, and let the performance begin!

NOTE: For extra sturdy balls, add a third balloon.
