  • Origami water balloon

    IMG_0162 This book, by the side of the road in a free box with its eight inch square colourful pages,  was brought home and –

    IMG_0163 one of those pages folded into a water balloon –

    IMG_0165 which upon inflating with one quick breath looked like this on top and like this –

    IMG_0166 on the bottom.  Water was dribbled carefully into that hole and then –

    IMG_0167 the water-filled balloon was thrown onto the deck where it burst in a satisfying spray of water.

    A water balloon game of tag on a hot summer day is fun and refreshing. 

    There are books on origami at the library with instructions on how to make the balloon; oodles of info on the Net like this one

    Enjoy!
