Did you know you could make your own bouncy balls? It seems pretty simple and a fun activity to try at home!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Two small bowls
- Two plastic forks
- Measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- Water
- Borax
- Corn flour
- 4-oz bottle of school glue
- Food coloring
And here’s what ya do!:
1. Mix 2 tbsp. hot water and 1/2 tsp. Borax in a small bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 tbsp. corn flour, 1 tbsp. glue and a few drops of food coloring.
3. Transfer 1/2 tsp. of the Borax and water mixture into the bowl with corn flour, then mix everything together until it solidifies.
4. Scoop your mixture out and roll it into a ball shape. Let the bouncing begin!
The balls bounce higher if they sit and harden for 10-20 minutes. Store your new toys in an airtight container after you’re done playing – they’ll last longer.
