Whether you want some terrific and inexpensive games for your next party or something to do on those long wet days you will have trouble finding games as cheap and as much fun as these four Scrunch Ball games.
All of the games can be played indoors or out.
All you will need is some newspapers, string, food colours, rubber gloves and maybe some old wine cartons and hobby glue.
How to Make a Scrunch Ball
-
You will need access to four different colours of food colouring (pink, green, blue and yellow) and an old newspaper (Please make sure that everyone has read it).
The newspaper should not be the shiny kind or have too much colour.
-
Make at least six Scrunch Balls in each colour and a few spares for the dog (or in case you lose or break some).
-
Cut the newspaper in half down the folded bit.
-
Put on some rubber gloves and an apron in case you get yummy colours all over you.
-
In a glass bowl or old plastic bowl put one big mug full of cold water.
-
Put two capfuls of one of the colours in and mix it all up. You can add more colour if you wish but we are trying to save money.
-
Take six or more of the pages you cut and, one by one, get them very wet in the bowl.
-
When each is very wet scrunch it up into a ball kind of thing and put it aside to dry where it won't be in the way or stain anything.
-
Finish the one colour, do as many as you like over six, then do the same with the other three colours.
-
You can air dry them or have an adult dry them slowly in the oven. When fully dry they will be sort of hard and bounce on the floor with a delicious thunk.
