Student Stories: Stress Balls

Feeling stressed? The students in Nutrition, Health, and Fitness can help you out by showing you how to make a stress ball. This activity helps the students have a hands-on learning experience related to one of their course outcomes: Discuss health conditions and coping strategies for wellness management.

Directions:
1. Stretch out your balloon.
2. Fill with flour.
3. Stick a funnel into the neck of the balloon.
4. Slowly fill the balloon. Pour slowly to avoid clogging the neck of the balloon! If it does clog, use a pen or pencil to clear the opening.
5. Remove the funnel from the balloon and let out as much air as you can. (Pro tip: To release the air, pinch near the neck and separate your finger and thumb slightly. Too wide an opening can blow flour everywhere.)
6. Tie the neck of the balloon closed tightly.
7. Use a sharpie to draw a face
