Ingredients
- Cotton balls

Instructions
- Start by soaking your water beads according to the package instructions. Enjoy watching them expand as they absorb water. This can take a couple of hours.
- Once the beads are ready, take a balloon and carefully stretch the opening.
- Using a funnel, pour a few water beads into the balloon. You can adjust the amount depending on how squishy you’d like it to be.
- Next, add several cotton balls into the balloon, layering them with the water beads.
- Once filled to your liking, carefully tie off the balloon to seal the beads and cotton inside.
- As a calming finishing touch, gently squeeze and manipulate the squishy to help the cotton and beads settle inside.
Notes
Store your Cotton Ball Water Bead Squishies in a cool, dry place. Refresh the water beads by soaking them again if they lose their squishy feel.
