To create your own DIY Bouncy Balls, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a clean area and gather all your ingredients and supplies. You may want to wear gloves if you’re concerned about dye on your hands.

2. Mix Glue and Cornstarch: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of school glue and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Stir until blended to a uniform texture.

3. Add Water: Gradually mix in 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until you have a smooth paste.

4. Add Baking Soda: Incorporate 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the mixture, continuing to blend thoroughly.

5. Color It Up: If desired, add 1 teaspoon of food coloring to the mixture. More vibrant colors can be achieved by increasing the amount until you reach your preferred shade.

6. Prepare the Borax Solution: In another bowl or cup, dissolve 1 teaspoon of borax in ½ cup of warm water. Stir until fully dissolved.

7. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the glue mixture into the borax solution while stirring. Be mindful that it might start to clump together.

8. Knead the Mixture: Use your hands to knead the batter until it forms a solid ball. This may take a minute or two. The consistency will change as you knead; it should become less sticky and more rubber-like.

9. Shape the Ball: Once the mixture is well-kneaded, form it into a smooth ball shape. If adding glitter, you can roll the ball in it for a fun effect.

10. Let It Set: Allow your bouncy ball to set for at least 30 minutes. This time will solidify the ball, enhancing its bounciness.
