Why is this boring? I can't think of a better way of getting people interested in science than this - it's interesting and accessible and shows things that ANYONE can do with simple equipment and materials.
with the bouncy glue if you mix the glue water and food colouring toghether and Then add the borrax you can control the consistancy better. you also get a better looking result. Try it with a gel type school glue like Elmer's gel and then it's a "clear" bouncy ball, lol
the egg part is not interesting ....

the marbled egg-
add soy sauce instead of food colouring
(and while you're at it- some spices, i like star anise)
and you will have a beautiful egg- much better looking
and very tasty.
the marble effect will be stronger since soy will penetrate deeper
because of the salt.
blue food is for kids...

Your borax polymer looks like it's easy to crumble. How to make it crumble-less?

more glue less borax, probably.

You can also use a rectangular aluminum can (like paint thinner comes in), heat it and seal the screw-on lid.
btw I didn't know schweppes made lemonade!
