Materials

  • Craft glue (easy to find at any craft store)
  • Cornstarch (a common kitchen staple)
  • Water
  • Food coloring (optional, but fun for vibrant colors)
  • Glitter (to add that sparkling touch)
  • A mixing bowl
  • A stirring tool (like a spoon or stick)
  • A tray for drying

Instructions

  • In your mixing bowl, combine a generous amount of craft glue with a splash of water. The glue acts as the base, giving the balls their bendy structure.
  • Slowly mix in the cornstarch, allowing the texture to change. It will start to feel like dough, becoming smooth and pliable.
  • If you want lively colors, add a few drops of food coloring and stir gently. Watch as the color spreads, bringing your mixture to life.
  • Sprinkle in some glitter. It's a delightful surprise that brings a sparkle to your creation.
  • Now, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Feel the softness and flexibility as you shape them.
  • Place the finished balls on a tray and leave them to dry for several hours or until they set completely. Observe how they take shape and solidify before your eyes.
