🌟 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.
