There are many bouncy ball recipes out there, but it’s hard to know which one is “just right”. \u00a0So I tested and tweaked more than a handful to\u00a0bring you my choice for best bouncy ball recipe!<\/p>\n

\"Bouncy<\/a><\/p>\n

You will need for 1 ball (picture 1 below)<\/i>:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4 Tbsp water<\/i><\/p>\n

1\/2 Tbsp borax<\/i><\/p>\n

1 Tbsp glue<\/i><\/p>\n

1\/4 Tbsp cornstarch<\/i><\/p>\n

coloring (food coloring or liquid water color)<\/i><\/p>\n

measuring spoons<\/i><\/p>\n

2 paper cups<\/i><\/p>\n

2 plastic spoons<\/i><\/p>\n

1 plastic container for storing<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Bouncy<\/i><\/p>\n

In cup A, place 4 Tbsp <\/span>warm<\/span> water and \u00bd Tbsp borax.\u00a0 <\/span>Stir to dissolve.<\/span><\/p>\n

In cup B, place 1 Tbsp glue and add 2-3 drops of food coloring or liquid water color; stir.\u00a0 <\/span>Add 1\/4 Tbsp cornstarch and stir. (picture 2)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Pour glue mixture into borax solution (picture 3)<\/i>; the glue will solidify within 10 seconds (picture 4). <\/i> No need to mix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remove colloid from the liquid with a spoon (picture 5) <\/i>and knead by hand (picture 6)<\/i>.\u00a0 <\/span>It will be sticky and liquidy at first, but it will solidify as you knead and the glue bits will easily pull off your hands (picture 7)<\/i>.\u00a0 <\/span>Roll into a ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bounce!\u00a0 <\/span>Place in airtight container to store.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
