Bouncy Ball Craft Kit- Mondo Llama™

Super quick and fun activity! We’ve always wanted to make our own bouncy balls.Pro tip: be sure to buy one kit for each kid!

We did as instructed and kept the balls in plastic baggies (included). One did not stay in, got hard and isn’t bouncy anymore. The others all got black mold! So while the project itself was fun, you do NOT want to keep these things around.

This is my favorite purchase from Target ever. You get to create your own light up bouncy ball. So easy. So fun. So quick. What a cool kinda scientific toy for so many ages. My five yr old grandson and 10 yr old granddaughter loved it. I loved it. Great value.

Nephews loved it! So easy for them (10, 8) to figure out on their own and they had a blast playing with them afterwards. Yes this is a bouncy ball you can get at a dollar store but the fun is in making it yourself. Mondo Llama are fun little kits.

This kept my 8 year old son busy on a vacation day, he figured out the instructions himself, and enjoyed making the balls , and playing with them after. I deducted one star because the balls don’t last long as balls- they continue to harden until a week or 2 later you basically have a “rock ball” that doesn’t bounce at all and is very hard . So if you want it as a project - it’s great, but if you want it as a ball after to play , nah

The STEM aspect of this activity is really cool. We loved making bouncy balls together and it was really simple. However, they get rock hard after a couple days.

These turn rock solid and hard within a day and have zero bounce at that point

The kids loved it! For the price, it’s a fun time. Doesn’t bounce too high but a good gift.

Loved this kit! The balls turned out cute but they are a little sticky even after drying.

My kids had a blast with this. They are younger than the recommended age so they did require a bit more assistance but they were so excited to make their own bouncy balls. We made about four total since there was extra material left over.

These were fun to do but we stored them in the plastic bags and within a week they molded

This was a fun little activity with my 4 and 6 year old. The only downside is the balls don’t stay bouncy , they turn rock hard the next day

This was a really fun activity, and the balls were super bouncy after making them. Two months later, they are hard as a rock and no longer bouncy. 5 stars for the process of making them but no stars for longevity.

I love Mondo llama craft kits. They are my go to for a weekend projects with my four-year-old and son five-year-old niece. You absolutely cannot beat the prices on their craft sets. This one in particular was very fun. Definitely took some supervision, but the kids loved it! I only knocked off a star because once the little bouncy balls are made if they’re not kept in an airtight container or a plastic bag, they get hard and the kids can’t play with them anymore. But for the money, totally worth!

All packages are wet when delivered

Easy to do and fun for kids!

Our almost-5-year-old absolutely loved this activity! You only need some old newspaper/placemats (to avoid mess), scissors (to cut open the little packets) and a cup of water. No microwave or anything else needed :) The kit makes 2 large balls or a large ball and 3-4 smaller balls. It doesn't take long; you pour the crystals into the molds and dip them in a cup of water for 10-15 seconds, then lay them out to dry for about 10-15 minutes and voila, you have some perfectly bouncy balls. They bounced pretty well but were a little sticky so bits of carpet fluff or dog hair will get into them. You will have to throw them away after a bit, but it was a fun activity to do with a young child. For the price it was fun and I would definitely buy this to do with my daughter again.

Easy to make, good for ages 4-12

This was amazing. So easy to make the balls. My 6 year old loves it. Will order more!

It's super simple for bigger and younger kids to participate in and it's a lot of fun!
