Swirl Glowing Bounce Ball

Posted on July 7, 2025

Here’s a fun and simple idea for a Swirl Glowing Bounce Ball — great for kids’ crafts, science fun, or party favors!


🌟 Swirl Glowing Bounce Ball Recipe

🧪 Supplies:

  • 1 tbsp clear school glue (or white glue for opaque)

  • ½ tsp borax powder

  • 2 tbsp warm water

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • A few drops of glow-in-the-dark paint or neon paint

  • Optional: food coloring for swirls

  • Small bowls & a spoon

  • Disposable gloves (optional, to keep hands clean)


🌀 Instructions:

  1. Mix the borax solution:

    • In a small bowl, dissolve ½ tsp borax in 2 tbsp warm water. Stir until dissolved. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the glue mixture:

    • In another bowl, combine 1 tbsp glue, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and a few drops of glow-in-the-dark paint.

    • Add a few drops of food coloring for swirl effects. Gently stir (don’t overmix, so the colors stay swirled).

  3. Combine & stir:

    • Slowly pour the borax solution into the glue mixture.

    • Stir quickly! It will start to solidify fast.

    • Once it gets too thick to stir, use your hands to knead and roll it.

  4. Shape into a ball:

    • Roll the mixture between your palms to form a ball.

    • Knead for a minute or two until it’s firm and bouncy.

  5. Let it set:

    • Let the ball sit for 5–10 minutes to dry a bit before playing.
