Homemade Bouncy Balls

We made homemade bouncy balls.  I can hear you saying, "WHAAAT? Homemade bouncy balls? Is there such a thing?".  Why, yes, there is.  And thanks to the magic of Pinterest (where I get all my creative ideas because I am incapable of thinking of anything like this on my own), we made them.  Borax, cornstarch and glue, plus a little bit of food coloring gave us MINUTES of fun (the bouncy balls did not stand up to my children for very long).

But they were cute while they lasted, and we had fun making them.  I really wasn't sure how they were going to turn out, but they were pretty cool, and they probably would have stood up to less ummm....enthusiastic play just fine.
