Mini Water Blobs

Plastic sheeting filled with water you can make for kids to slip and side on for some awesome water fun.

Mini Water Blobs

Materials:

Plastic sheeting at least 4 mil thick
Duct tape
Blue food coloring (optional - if you want your water to look blue)
Measuring tape
Iron/Ironing board
Parchment paper
Plastic fish (optional - we placed a few inside to make the blob look like an aquarium just for fun)

Directions:

Unroll your plastic sheeting and measure out the width and height you need to cut to size for each kids, allowing at least 3 inches for height. For example, if their height is 43" cut a length of 46"  For width, use a standard size of 2 feet which was plenty of room for kids to move around.

Place a piece of parchment paper that is folded up over the seam of the plastic sheeting and on low-medium heat, press down (remember the iron is on top of the parchment paper so it never touches the plastic). Iron over the seam and the plastic will melt fusing the open ends together so it's leak proof.

Leave a hole at one end so you can place your hose there.

Add a few drops of blue coloring inside the bag and place your plastic fish inside (if using). Place your hose inside the hole you left until it's filled. Have your duct tape ready and patch the hole once the blob is full of water.

*if you get leaks, they can easily be fixed with duct tape. We had a few and they were fine once taped over.
