Come and enjoy making your own “MAKE MORE Stress-less”dexterity ball with the 4th grade student makers. Learn about how stress balls absolutely work, and there’s science to back it up. When we get stressed out, our brain has two channels. A sensory channel (sight, sound, feel, and smell) and an intellectual channel that tries to makes sense of how we feel and put it into context. When your sensory channel is blocked or occupied, your experiences aren’t as intense or vivid. In other words, when you’re physically occupied with something (squeezing the stress ball) your mind isn’t focused or concentrated on whatever is stressing you out. This is why some of the best stress reducers are physical activities. Let’s create one of these together. We will share our designed and tested process so you too can make these at home.
