These glow in the dark ideas will allow you to have the best glowstick party ever. Plus, glow in the dark crafts for kids are always fun and sometimes educational.

I want to try all of these ideas! The glow in the dark play dough and dinosaurs seem like a great way to keep energetic kids occupied. The mason jars and the table would be awesome for an outdoor party in the summer. Maybe you could even use the jars to catch a few fireflies?
It always amazes me how one small detail such as glow in the dark paint can really breathe vibrancy into something. I bet there are people out there who would pay big bucks for a full wood floor with the glow in the dark resin treatment that Mike Warren uses for his tables.
These are such awesome craft ideas, they scream modern and forward and are new ways for families to get involved in out of the box crafts.
Oh, this has my name all over it! Perfect for doing with little ones or to give yourself a lift while waiting for spring to finally arrive. I’m starting with the glow-in-the-dark flowers. Can’t you also imagine it as a pick-me-up gift for a friend who needs a lift? The balloons are very tempting, too.and would add a welcome to any evening event without much cost. Really terrific ideas!
It’s amazing how much glow in the dark projects fascinate me even as an adult! I love the concept of the glow in the dark table as well as the mason jars for parties or even just lighting for a chill night on the porch.
I love being able to find new ways to make things glow in the dark. I make a lot of tie-dye and love using flwo-in-the-dark paint on top of the tie-dye design to make shirts that glow in the dark. It gives customers two shirts for the price of one! And I definitely want to make that table that glows in the dark. I must agree with a previous comment in that people definitely would pay big bucks for a floor or wall or ceiling done the way the table is.
I’m amazed at the simplicity of these projects and the ability to turn a simple craft into out of this world fun! Showing all these different ideas for ways to make things glow in the dark has inspired me to start seeing common objects in a different light and having the possibility to utilize the glow in the dark system in other everyday objects! My favorite idea is the bouncing ball, I have tried to make glow in the dark bouncing balls via a packet however these bouncy balls seem to be more vibrant and I would love to try it!
Oh, that glow-in-the-dark bike is genius! It scares me to death when I see kids in the neighborhood at night on bikes and scooters; you can hardly see them coming. This looks really cool, so I’d bet that a lot of young kids would be attracted to it, and it serves a practical safety purpose.
For someone who loves gardening as much as I do, I’m also really attracted to the terrarium project. It would be soothing to have a glow-in-the-dark garden at night. Would that have to be done with plastic plants, or would real plants be okay with the paint?
Without any doubts, the great passion of my children is to create something by their own hands because they are really creative personalities. My children especially adore making something with playdough and we try to do it with the whole family. It is a big luck to stumble across this article and to be aware of various ideas about what to do with playdough, because ours has been running out. To tell the truth, we have already sculpted a lot of different things but I don’t know why it didn’t cross our mind to make play dough monsters because it is so fascinating. You can create any kind of monster and do it in the way you desire, giving him the most incredible look. Also, it is absolutely wonderful to make your playdough glow. Earlier I hadn’t imagined that it was possible and that it was so gorgeous, but now it takes my breath away and I really want to try it with my children.
