I saw this idea and KNEW my boys would fall head over heels in a “mom you are the queen of the world” kinda way.  Sponge bombs.  Like water balloons.  But a *million* times BETTER.  And they are so easy to make.

Step 1: Buy lots and lots and lots of packages of plain ole’ kitchen sponges.  Seriously.  LOTS.  Because they will want a ton of these.

Step 2: Ignore my ugly countertops.

Step 3: Pair up your sponges, I used 2 per “bomb” – and spent way too much time making the perfect color combos, because I am a crazy, insane Type A.  My hubby makes fun of me.

Step 4: Cut each of your sponges in 4 strips, and pair them up.

Step 5: Get some string, or yarn, or fishing wire, or dental floss and tie them together REALLY tight.  Cut off the excess.

Step 6: Admire their beauty. Pick out your favorite color combo.  Because I am a crazy, insane Type A.

Step 7: Add water. Sneak attack the kiddos. Make memories.
