to stretch them, and then let the air
back out. Activate glow sticks according to
directions, and insert one into each balloon.
A folded 8-inch glow stick or a 4-inch light-
stick pendant works best. Blow up the bal-
loons again, and tie them.
POPPING PLACES!
On the table, surround neon-colored plates
with glow-stick necklaces. Set out neon cups,
and place a pair of neon straws in each one.
GARLAND GLOW
Make a garland with neon dot sticker
labels. Start at one end of a length of
ribbon, and sandwich the ribbon between two
stickers. Repeat the stickers every 3 inches
along the ribbon. Ask an adult to help you
hang the garland along the edge of a table or
on a wall.
Food & Drink
When you place these glowing goodies near a
black light, they will glow because of a secret
ingredient: tonic water!
GLOW GELATIN
With an adult, follow the directions on a
box of blue gelatin, but replace the
water with tonic water (a name brand works
best). Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Pour the mix
into clear plastic cups, and place them in the
refrigerator to set. Serve with spoons.
GLOW PUNCH
Follow the directions on any powdered
lemonade drink mix, but replace the water
with tonic water (a name brand works best).
Stir slowly. If the lemonade tastes bitter, add
sugar—a little at a time—to sweeten.
NEON BARK
Ask an adult to melt a 10-ounce bag
of dark chocolate candy melts in the
microwave according to package directions.
Then have the adult pour the melted candy
onto a 9-inch-by-13-inch cookie sheet lined
with parchment paper or wax paper, and
spread evenly. It doesn’t have to fill the
entire pan. Have an adult melt additional
colors of candy melts according to package
directions—bright colors like pink and blue
are best. You need only a small handful of
each. Spoon and splatter the colors onto
the dark candy. Let it cool and harden for at
least 20 minutes, and then break into chunks
and serve.
Games
For these two glowing games, collect six
empty plastic water or soda bottles with no
labels and insert an activated glow stick into
each. Fill them with water, and tightly replace
the caps. Play in a room or area where flying
balls and water won’t damage the floors or
furnishings!
RING TOSS
Place the bottles in a straight line or 1-2-3 for-
mation about 5 feet away. Take turns throwing
activated glow necklaces like flying discs and
seeing how many land on a
bottle. Players get 1 point for
each bottle. Whoever gets
the most points wins!
BOWLING
Place the bottles in a 1-2-3
formation. Use a heavier ball, such
as a basketball, for bowling. Take turns while
standing at least 10 feet away and rolling the
ball toward the bottles. Whoever knocks
down the most bottles wins!
Activity
NEON DANCE PARTY
Turn the white lights down, the black
lights on, and the music up! But first,
make sure your guests are decked out in glow
necklaces and bracelets. Add more fun with a
neon toy hoop that, with an adult’s help, has
been sprayed with nontoxic glow-in-the-dark
craft paint a day or two before the party. Bust
it out during the dancing for a mesmerizing
light show!

LIGHT-UP LANTERNS
These lanterns glow at night. Dot the outside
of clean plastic jars with glow-in-the-dark
puffy paint. Let them dry. Fill them with
