Description
Create your own glowing moon rocks with a fun and simple DIY recipe that glows in the dark!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup white school glue
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon glow-in-the-dark paint or pigment
- 1/4 cup liquid starch
- Black or gray food coloring (optional)
- 1 small mixing bowl
- 1 spoon or craft stick for mixing
Instructions
- Start by pouring 1/2 cup of white school glue into a small mixing bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup of warm water to the glue and stir until it’s nice and smooth.
- Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of your chosen glow-in-the-dark paint. If desired, add a few drops of black or gray food coloring to give it a unique look. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Gradually sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch while stirring the mixture. This will start to thicken your concoction.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of liquid starch while stirring continuously. Keep stirring until you see the mixture transform into a sticky, gooey dough.
- Once the mixture has thickened, knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes until it feels firm and smooth to the touch.
- Shape your dough into rock-like balls or uneven clumps to achieve that authentic moon rock appearance. Let your creativity shine as you make each one unique!
- For some fun, try bouncing your moon rocks off the ground and enjoy the playful magic of your creations.
- Finally, dim the lights and watch in awe as your glowing moon rocks illuminate the dark!
Notes
- To make your moon rocks even more colorful, consider mixing different shades of glow-in-the-dark paint or adding multiple colors of food coloring to your mixture.
- If you find the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more cornstarch to help with the consistency, making it easier to shape your moon rocks.
