Floating Ball Sponge Rescue

Activity Steps

Steps:

• Place an empty, clear plastic bottle on a flat table.
• Drop a lightweight ping pong ball inside the bottom of the empty bottle.
• Fill a large bowl with cool water and place it right next to the bottle.
• Have your child dunk a sponge into the bowl to soak up the water.
• Hold the bottle steady with their helper hand to keep it still.
• Use the other hand to squeeze the wet sponge directly over the bottle opening.
• Repeat this process, watching the ping pong ball float higher and higher.
• Once the ball reaches the very top, use pinching fingers to pluck it out!

Safety Tip:
Supervise your child closely during water play. Ensure the bottle has a wide opening with no sharp plastic edges.
