Materials
- Marble effect: swirl two colors together before kneading.
- Glitter: add a pinch of cosmetic‑grade glitter into the glue mixture.
- Small or large: make halves or double the recipe for bigger balls.
- Scented: a drop of food‑safe flavoring oil will add a light scent.
Instructions
- Grab a disposable cup and mix 1 tablespoon of white school glue with 3 tablespoons of warm water. Whisk it like you mean it!
- In a separate cup, dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of borax powder in a splash of warm water—think of it as your secret potion.
- Pour the borax solution into the glue mixture slowly while stirring like a mad scientist!
- Add in that cornstarch and mix until it’s a smooth criminal.
- Want to get colorful? Drop in a few squirts of food coloring and mix until your bouncy ball looks like a rainbow—paint those dull days away!
- Time to get hands-on! Knead the mixture until it forms a ball. If it’s feeling a bit off, add a smidge more borax or warm water until it’s just right.
- Store your bouncy balls in a zip-top bag or airtight container to keep the fun fresh.
