Having a ball

We did Crafty Kids Tuesday on Monday this week. And after two weeks of intense, multi-day, steep learning curve, crafts we decided to do something simple. We made bouncy balls! Talk about instant gratification.

Here's how it's done. First, you pour the mystery 'ball making mix' into the mold. Then dangle the mold in water 1 minute. Let set 3 minutes. Viola, you have a somewhat gooey but super colorful bouncy ball.

Here's Catherine and Chloe on step one...

Madelyn shows off her ball. She was the only one to make a big ball. It required too much mystery mix.Our collection of balls. This would be a cool way to do a solar system model, don't you think?
Ready to bounce!
Seth was hilarious. He would bounce first, then release the ball.
