1. Glowing balloons

Balloons and glow sticks are both super cheap! Purchase a package of each. Use helium to blow up the balloons. Before tying them, place a glow stick inside of the balloon. Now you have floating balls of light!

2. Make glasses

By disconnecting glow stick necklaces, you can bend and shape them into glasses. Who wouldn’t want to wear glow in the dark shades?

3. Use them in pumpkins.

Putting a glow stick inside of a pumpkin is the perfect way to give your Halloween creation a colorful glow!

4. A glow in the dark jump rope

Purchase a cotton jump rope and glow sticks. Break the glow sticks open, pour the liquid over the jump rope and viola, you have a glowing jump rope!

5. Glow stick tic-tac-toe

Tic-tac-toe can be made even more exciting by using glow sticks as the x’s and o’s as well as the board itself.

6. Glowing Easter eggs

 

No one is ever too old for a night time Easter egg hunt! Put glow sticks inside of Easter eggs, wait for the sun to go down, and have a blast! Makes for a great nighttime scavenger hunt game, too! No need to wait for Easter to come back around! Check out this great tutorial over at The Mommy Files.

7. Glow stick bowling

All you need for this game is water bottles, glow stick, and a ball. Put the glow sticks inside of the water bottles and you’ve got glowing pins!

8. Lanterns

You can make DIY lanterns at home using empty mason jars and glow sticks. These are perfect for movie night or for using on the porch at night.

9. Chain link decoration

Link the glow sticks together to form a chain and hang it from anywhere. Turn off the lights and you’ve got a neon glow of lights.

10. Neon bath time

What Vanessa bath looks like tonight! #glowstickbath

For a really cool bath experience, put glow sticks in the tub and turn out the lights! The neon glow will have you bathing in the most colorful water you’ve ever seen.

    For the past two years, we’ve had a glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids at our church. They love hunting eggs at night and finding them. I always give out glow bracelets at our annual 4th of July Fireworks Celebration. Love glow sticks!
