Materials
- Warm water (easy to find)
- White school glue (washable for easy cleanup)
- Cornstarch (also serves as a thickening agent)
- Food coloring (to add your desired hue)
- A mixing bowl (choose a comfortable one)
- A spatula or spoon for stirring
- A small container for shaping the ball
- Plastic wrap (optional, for kneading)
Instructions
- Begin by pouring 1/2 cup of warm water into your mixing bowl. The warmth invites comfort and makes the process a bit more inviting.
- Add 1/2 cup of white school glue into the same bowl. Stir gently to combine until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
- Gradually add in 1 cup of cornstarch to the mixture, stirring slowly. The texture will change, feeling thicker as you mix.
- If you’d like to add color, now is the time. Add a few drops of your chosen food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired shade.
- Knead the mixture with your hands, creating a soft and pliable ball. If it feels too sticky, add a pinch of cornstarch. Feel its smoothness and embrace the calming sensation.
- Once combined, shape your bouncy ball smoothly, ensuring it is compact and round. This process encourages focus and brings you into the now.
- Allow the ball to sit at room temperature for at least two hours to solidify. As it sets, take a moment to enjoy the anticipation of what’s to come.
