These totally tossable, squishable balls are lightweight and easy to grip, making them perfect for novice jugglers, beanbag games, or a good old game of catch.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 9 (11-inch) balloons (for 3 balls)
Funnel 2 1/4 cups of dried lentils Scissors | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: balloons, dried lentils | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Stretch the first balloon by inflating it halfway, holding
it closed for about 30 seconds, and deflating it. |
| 2. |  Place a funnel in the balloon's neck and gradually pour in
3/4 cup of lentils, pushing them in as you go. The balloon should
be firm but squeezable. |

second balloon and gently stretch the opening. |
| 4. |  Ease the second balloon over the filled balloon, tucking in
the neck as you go. |

and ease it over the other two. Repeat this process to make a set
of three balls, or however many you'd like. |
