How to Make Super Glowing Bounce Balls

Ingredients

1/2 cup white school glue
1/4 cup liquid starch
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon glow in the dark powder or glow paint
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Food coloring (optional)
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the white school glue and water. Stir to combine.
Add the baking soda and glow powder to the mixture and stir until well mixed.
If you’d like to add color, mix in a few drops of food coloring and stir until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the liquid starch while stirring constantly until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
Once it starts to hold together, add the cornstarch and knead with your hands to form a soft bouncy dough.
Roll the mixture into small balls about 1-2 inches in diameter, dusting your hands with cornstarch if too sticky.
To activate the glow, place the balls under a light for a few minutes.
Test the bounce by gently dropping the balls; they should bounce and shine brightly in the dark.
