Nancy Spies passed some info to me once about making balls.
 
If you aren't planning on doing this on-site and for a little less messy and
less strenuous method...
 
Follow the other "recipes" to get a shape.  Then take the proto-balls and an
old pair of pantyhose and insert a ball down to the toe and knot-off, repeat
with other balls up through the leg.  Throw the entire thing into the washer
and run through a regular cycle, with soap, and the results are pretty
compact balls once dried.
 
They are great for period kids toys.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to make felted wool balls as a
children's activity?
Or refer me to a source that can tell me how to do so?
 
Thanks very much!
