Water went in with a funnel and rice went in with a funnel and a whole lot of poking. If you don’t get conkers you could try walnuts – they are a similar size.

I see them everywhere on other mummy blogs though. How did you manage to get all those things into the balloons?

I made some ‘sensory balloons’ for my son (aged 2). We filled them with conkers, rice and water. He loved the feel of them but I didn’t know what else to do with them. Wish I’d seen your post earlier.
