Tonight we had some fun with glow sticks. We had about five and wouldn't you know that only two ended up working. We still had fun with only two thought.
At bath time we turned out the lights and threw them in the bath tub for baby girl to play with. It was really cool to see how they glow under the water.
(The pictues really don't do it justice)
I hated to see the glow stick just be used at bath time and waste all the glow.
So I took a Jar and the sticks...
cut them and poured the contents out inside the jar. I did this very carefully because I didn't want to be a glowing monster all through the night and there are glass shards in the sticks.
I shook the jar up and took into their room and turned the light off. The loved it and laid there and checked it out. When we were down I put it on a very high shelf and let them use it as a night light.
This would also be great when we go camping.
You could also use it as at time out jar where when they hold it they have to be quite.
Or it could be used as a talking jar. As when you are having a family meeting or your all telling stories the one who is holding the jar has the right to speak and everyone else has to stay quite and listen. When that person is done they pass it to the next person in line.
"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16
