Glow in the Dark Craft Ideas
Everybody loves to see stuff glow in the dark. There’s just something really cool about seeing a dark room or yard turn into a canvas where someone has added something unexpected and lit up! We’ve used glow in the dark paint for crafts, played with glow sticks and gone on house discoveries with a black light. Here’s some ideas for glow in the dark crafts to keep you and the kids busy this Fall.

Have you done something fun with glow in the dark paint or glowsticks? I’d love to hear and see your ideas!
collect some very pretty wine or liquor bottles and fill them with filtered or bottled water, break a bright yellow highlighter in half pull out the ink sleeve, cut it in half, put one into each bottle, reseal bottles, invert a few times then turn on a Blacklight and enjoy, the glow will intensify after a few days of sitting, you probably should wear gloves as it can be messy, LOL!!!
