I've heard about these awesome hidrogems and wanted to give them a try. We found these at JoAnne's craft store for $4.00.
They are squishy and super slippery. They can be broken pretty easily but MY kids played with them and we didn't have any broken ones.
Well. We decided to freeze them as an experiment as they are made mostly of water to see how they would freeze...and then we let them thaw in our hands. The kids got a little too anxious squeezing the hard frozen balls and as they quickly melted down, defrosting to their original soft balls they were broken into little pieces and thrown away. Still fun to do.
MUCH more fun than the cockroach we froze and then waited to come back to life in St. George. Which by the way....didn't happen. Nope. They die.
What I loved was to sit back and watch how true to personality each and every one of my kids were while playing.

| Nathan put his in jail. Those two are in jail on his lid. |
 |
| When Ryan wasn't making a mess with his....he would make a train and choo choo them around his lid. Cameron immediately started playing, writing his story with each one in his own make believe world. |

| Spencers were babies and promptly put to sleep. |
 |
| Such fun little water balls. |

| This sensory time lasted almost an hour with all 5 of my kids. GOOD times people ! Good times. |
