The Wonderful World of Glow Sticks

Imagine a light that you could hold in your hand. A light with a soft glow that could light up any tiny space. What if this light could come in different colors? What if this amazing luminous orb could come in different sizes? What if this light was only a dollar at the store and you could buy it anytime you wanted?? Sounds too good doesn't it? Let me introduce you to the Glow Stick.



Who ever came up with this idea was a genius! My children LOVE glowing things. It doesn't matter what glows they will want it and it will have to go into their rooms. Ian has had in the past: stars, toys, books, clothes, planets, Lego's and even paint that glows. He loves to have-the-power that comes with something so awesome. He pretends it is his lightsaber and will have all sorts of battles in his darken room.



Sashi is just starting to get into the glow-in-the-dark-craze. She has little toys that glow and a few shirts, but her all time favorite toy is the glow stick. Today she picked one out at the store. It had to be the biggest one and it had to be the brightest one. She talked about it all the way home in the car. Once she was home she spent an hour creating a tent out of blankets and chairs. Then the giggling began. I went to go see what the laughing was about and there was Sashi sitting inside her tent with her glow stick in her lap....singing and laughing to her stuffed animals. She had created a wonderland for her animals and what made it the most magical of all...was the soft glow of a green glow stick.



It is delightful to get a "toy" that your children can use for hours and never get bored of. It is fabulous that the glow sticks are only a dollar! It is amazing that someone had the insight and know how to make an object glow. Yay, for Glow Sticks!!
