5 Fun Glow Stick Activities for Kids

1. Fairies in a Jar

Activate a glow stick, cut it open, and then sprinkle the liquid into a glass jar. Replace the lid on the jar and shake it well. You can even mix colors if you wish. Take the jar into a dark spot and it will look like you have captured a jar of glowing fairies!

2. Glow in the Dark Rock Hunt

Activate a glow stick and then break it open. Pour the liquid onto rocks coating them as best as possible. Doing this step in a mixing bowl works great. In the evening, toss the rocks into the yard. Let children come out and go on a rock hunt, following the glow to find the pebbles.

3. Spooky Swamp

Fill up an outdoor kiddie pool and toss in a few green or yellow glow sticks for a spooky swamp swim! You can even add plastic dinosaurs or snakes and alligators if you wish for some extra swampy fun. You can do this with any other type of pool.

4. Glowing Goblets

After pouring your favorite summer beverage, toss in a glow stick as a stir stick. It will light up your glass and create a super fun glowing goblet that children will love drinking out of. Using a different color for each child can also help keep drinks separated.

5. Glow Stick Balloons

Make your balloons glow by sliding an activated glow stick in it before inflating. It will make the balloon light up your evening events and is sure to add some fun that the kids will love!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
