Wet Water Sponge Toys

Wet Water Sponge Toys Buy new kitchen sponges from any grocery store. They usually come in packs of 6 in all colors.

I like the smaller, they are easier to tie together and better for little fingers to hold. But you could make a large one that would get someone really wet....
