DIY Glow-in-the-Dark Bouncing Balls (8 Pack)

Craft it, mix it, bounce it—and watch it glow! DIY Glow in the Dark Bouncing Balls are a hands-on STEM craft kids absolutely love. They get to make their own bouncy ball, then test it out and see it glow in the dark. Perfect for classrooms, camps, parties, and science stations where you want instant excitement.

A DIY Science Craft That Turns Into a Glow-in-the-Dark Toy

This is one of those crafts that kids talk about all day. Instead of just decorating, kids actually create something from a mix—then get a real bouncy ball they can play with. Add the glow-in-the-dark effect, and suddenly it’s a science experiment, a craft, and a take-home toy in one.

It’s perfect for STEM lessons, chemistry units, science fairs, camp activities, and birthday parties. Kids love seeing how their ball forms, then testing how high it bounces and how bright it glows. It’s also a great group activity because the steps are simple, but the result feels like magic.

Use it for a “Science + Fun” station, a glow party craft, or an indoor activity that keeps kids busy and excited.

Why Teachers and Camps Love DIY Bouncing Ball Kits

DIY bouncing balls are a favorite because they mix creativity with science. Teachers love them for hands-on learning—kids observe changes, follow steps, and experiment with results. Camps love them because they’re exciting, interactive, and give kids something fun to take home.

They also work great for older kids who want something more “science-y” than simple coloring crafts.
