Hi Cynthia. In the first glass I put glue up to 1/3 of the glass. Then added about 4 teaspoons of water. Add a few drops of food coloring and then stirred it all together really well. In the second glass I filled it up to about 1/3 with water and added one teaspoon of borax. (You could probably use less water so I'd experiment with it) I did this beforehand so it would have plenty of time to dissolve. Then take it all out and roll it together in a ball. The longer the ball sits up the better it will bounce. You might have one that you make the day before to show how well it will bounce. It doesn't bounce too well off of carpet though.
Love this guy! Thank you for following Jesus and sharing your object lessons!
Thank you.
This is awesome! I'm teaching a lesson next week about the Lord making weak things become strong and this will be a perfect object lesson. Thank you!
Thank you. Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic object lesson! Well done.
How much water did you put in the glue? And how much borax soap did you put in the water? Gonna do this lesson tonight with the kiddos
