FAQs

What age is this kit suitable for?

This kit is suitable for ages 6 and up. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children during use.

How many balls can I make with one kit?

You can create between 4 and 10 bouncy balls per kit, depending on the size of the mould used and how much granule material is filled into each mould.

What are the colours included?

The kit includes 10 sachets of colourful granules in 5 vibrant colours, with two sachets of each colour.

Can I reuse the moulds?

Yes, the kit includes 3 reusable moulds: one large sphere and two smaller, irregular shapes.

How long does it take to make a bouncy ball?

The process is very quick; it takes approximately 4 minutes for the granules to form a bouncy ball once immersed in water.

Are the granules safe?

The granules are designed for this activity. However, they are small and should be kept away from very young children who might put them in their mouth. Adult supervision is advised.

Can I mix colours to create new shades?

Yes, you can mix different coloured granules within the same mould to create unique colour combinations for your bouncy balls.

Troubleshooting

Ball is not forming or is soft

Ensure the mould was fully submerged in water for the complete 4 minutes. Check that the granules were completely inside the mould before immersion.

Granules spilled outside the mould

Carefully collect any spilled granules. Ensure the mould is placed on a stable, flat surface before filling. Avoid overfilling the mould.

Ball is sticking to the mould

Gently try to loosen the ball from the mould. Ensure the mould is clean. Allow the ball to dry completely; it may release more easily once fully dry.

Colors are mixing unexpectedly

This is normal if multiple colors were placed in the same mould without careful layering. For distinct colors, use only one color per mould or layer colors precisely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Gather Materials: Ensure you have the granule sachets, desired mould(s), and a bowl of water ready.
  2. Fill Mould: Carefully pour the colorful granules into one of the provided moulds, ensuring it's adequately filled but not overflowing.
  3. Immerse: Gently place the filled mould into a bowl of water. Ensure the mould is fully submerged.
  4. Wait: Allow the mould to remain in the water for approximately 4 minutes. You will see the granules transform into a solid ball.
