Super balls. Every kid loves 'em. Who knew you could make 'em. I found this at: Making Memories. It is a gooey and sticky process but how cool is it to make your own super balls?!!!
You will need:
- 1 Tbls. glue (Elmers glue, NOT craft/tacky glue. Just trust me on this!)
- 1/2 tsp. Borax
- 1 Tbls. cornstarch
- 4 Tbls. warm water
- food coloring
- Put the glue and food coloring in one cup. Mix it up.
- In another cup mix the Borax, cornstarch and warm water. Stir.
- Add the water mix to the glue mix and stir it up!
It'll be a gooey blob at this point. 
- Dump the liquid out of the cup and roll into a ball. You'll have to do this for awhile. It'll be pretty mushy and a little gross feeling at first. Keep rolling. If it seems too "wet" roll it on a paper towel to get some of the liquid off.
Just a side note - in the morning or when they set for awhile, they will flatten out somewhat. We stored ours in the plastic Easter eggs to help keep their shape. But just roll them again when you pick them up and they will go back to being a ball.
