Step 1
Place bath toys in one of the freezer bags and fill with water. Try to squeeze out most of the air and seal tightly.
Step 2
Use duct tape to make the seal extra strong. I used two overlapping strips folded over the edge.
Step 3
Place your filled bag, with the taped side down, inside another freezer bag. Again, squeeze out as much air as possible and seal tightly.
Step 4
Duct tape that second edge for extra security.
