everything must glow
Tonight we had some glow in the dark fun with led lights, balloons, plastic eggs, black light, sensory bottles, other random glow in the dark toys, and some sing a long kids songs! ;)
Graham and Parker had a friend over tonight to play in the dark with them too! There 3 year old friend Garland, happens to have autism so we thought that it would be a really cool sensory experience for her too. We are pleased to say that everything was a hit with her as well! A great time was had by all! You can get the LED finger lights in a pack of 40 HERE!
* Update Note that the black light photos are not too bright, this is due to only having one large and one small black light at the time. IN present day we have several more and the black light play is much better! For more awesome black light play see our Glow in the dark play board on Pinterest!! You can go there by clicking HERE! *

Firefly Jar & Bloopy Gloopy Black light paint
Check this video out!!
awesome!!
The firefly jar is made with clear waterbeads soaked in highlighter infused water, the liquid is highlighter infused water, and I poured in some mod podge. When you shake and turn it in the black light, it looks like fireflies flying around!! It looks even more vivid in person!!!!
The bloopy gloopy paint is made with the same hair gel from my post yesterday, plus the highlighter infused water, and about 1/4 cup of mod podge.

Oooey Gooey black light sensory bottles
I decided to try out the highlighter trick and make some black light water beads with clear water beads with highlighter infused water. It worked!! I love the results!! I made two sensory bottles with two empty plastic Voss water bottles. I used the black light beads, some of the highlighter infused water, some triangle beads, glitter, some of the black light water beads that I made, and cheap walmart hair gel to make one of the sensory bottles. I used dune craft brand slime, some of the highlighter infused water, glitter, and some of the black light water beads I made to make the other sensory bottle. Very cool results!!
*Highlighter infused water is made by breaking open the bottom end of the highlighter, pulling out the ink cartridge, slowly rinsing under running water and squeezing the cartridge into a bowl until the ink is all in the bowl of water. I used a hammer and carefully smacked the bottom end of the highlighter to break it open. Be very careful as to not have plastic pieces flying up to your eyes. Turn your head away and do it down in the sink. Do not hit hard with the hammer. I encourage anyone to use extreme caution when breaking open the highlighters. It takes about 30 minutes to get your highlighter water ready to use.*
