Glow Sticks:Fairy Jars, Balloons, Hide-and-Seek & Bath Tub

We purchased three $1.00 containers of glow sticks from Michael's and had a great time being creative with them one hot summer night. We first made a Fairy Jar, then we added several cracked glow sticks to some blown up punch balloons, played hide-and-seek with them, and lastly threw them into the bath tub for some glowing water. The bath tub was the least favorite for Ava, Charlotte seemed to enjoy that though. The kids went to bed using their glow-in-the dark balloons as lanterns. Glow in the dark hide-and-seek in our home was a huge hit. We played this three times and I am sure we will play it again. The kids didn't hide. I actually made glow in the dark necklaces for the kids so that they wouldn't run into each other. We hid the glow sticks and the kids went around the apartment looking for the glow sticks.

The punch balloons with glow sticks inside. They actually lasted about 2-3 nights.Much longer than our fairy jar. Plus, the latex on the punch balloons is so thick that they resisted Charlotte's weight when she sat on them for fun!
