Make Your Own Bouncy Balls by Tobar

Ignite an interest in physics and chemistry with Make Your Own Bouncy Balls by Tobar. is an ingenious kit to make bespoke bouncy balls in 2 sizes. The kit contains plastic granules which, when  mixed with water, can be turned into bouncy balls. A mixture of up to five colours can be poured into one of the three supplied moulds (one large, spherical design and two small, irregularly shaped ones). Then immerse the filled moulds in water and then split open after four minutes to reveal a superbly bouncy creation. There are ten sachets of granules included (two of each colour) so between four and ten balls can be made. The balls made have a dimension of either 5cm  or 3cm.

Now experiment with the balls and how they bounce. Does shape influence how the ball bounces? What happens when each ball bounces on different surfaces? Which ball bounces the highest? Age 8 – 12 years.

Contents: ten sachets of granules in five different colours; one large mould and 2 small moulds (mould designs may vary)
