Materials 

Instructions 

  • First, we will need to boil water. Once your water has boiled, put four teaspoons of the water into a bowl.
  • Add a ½ teaspoon of Borax.
  • Stir the boiling water and Borax mixture together well. The Borax should dissolve.
  • Add two tablespoons of glue to another bowl.
  • Then, add some glitter on top of your glue. Mix your glue and glitter together well.
  • Now, take a tablespoon of your Borax mixture from your first bowl and add it to the second bowl containing the glitter and glue mixture.
  • Stir this together well. It should create a dense and jelly-like substance.
  • Now, pick up the mixture in your hands. It should be squishy.
  • Begin to squish and roll the mixture into a round ball shape.
  • At this point, your ball should not be sticky anymore. If it is still sticky, you can add a few more drops of Borax mixture.
    Your glittery bouncy ball is complete! Enjoy!
