  1. Wearing gloves to keep your skin safe, combine 1 tablespoon of borax with 1/2 cup warm water in a mixing bowl. Stir until the borax has mostly dissolved.
  2. Once the borax is mostly dissolved, squeeze a few tablespoons of clear glue or glitter glue (Elmer’s works the best) into the solution.
  3. Gently squeeze and shape the glue in the solution until it has formed a ball shape and is no longer sticky.
  4. Test your bouncy ball by bouncing it on the floor or counter!
