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

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.

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.

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.
