Homemade Bouncy Balls {recipe with the pictures}


Mix together 1/2tsp. borax, 1 tbsp. cornstarch, and 4tbsp. warm water.

When the water mixture is mixed well, grab another bowl and mix in your favorite color of food coloring and 1tbsp. Elmers School Glue.

Mix until all the white is gone! Once you've mixed it all, add the water mixture to the glue mixture. Stir until you get a big gooey glob. When you reach that point, empty out the water. Put down a paper towel, and take your gooey glob and roll it around until it dries up a bit and starts to form a ball.

Bounce and enjoy!!

Today I was going to take the kids to go play at the Splash Pad but, since they both got a sunburn yesterday, I decided not to.
I knew I needed something to keep their attention and have fun, so I started perusing the blogger world.
LOVE IT!!
On her site, I found the recipe I've shared above.
I got the kids dressed, headed to Wal-Mart, and we came home and made these little beauties.
They are in love with what THEY MADE!!
Oh, to be 3 1/2 and 5 again!!
