    These sponge balls would be great for playing water fight, instead of using balloons. Thank you for sharing this DIY post.

    I made these for my grandsons and I so we could have sponge ball battles and we had hours of fun. I will defnitely know next time not to have a battle fight after cutting my grass but they were so much fun and they had lots of laughs.
