Glow in the Dark Tic Tac Toe!

It’s summer time here and my kids, who normally go to to bed very early, are enjoying being able to stay up a little later!

We’ve been having fun swimming and playing outside and roasting marshmallows in the backyard at night.  Since they are staying up later they are also loving playing with anything that glows!

 

Glow in the Dark Tic Tac Toe!

 

Glow in the Dark Tic Tac Toe

We love glow sticks so decided to use them to play one of our favorite games–Tic Tac Toe! 

This was super simple to set up.  I bought a package of glow stick bracelets at the Dollar Store and used the connectors that came with the package to make the Os.  Then I cut a pipe cleaner into small sections and twisted them around 2 of the sticks to make the Xs.

We have a couple more glow in the dark activities coming up this month and I can’t wait to see what the kids think!

    This is a brilliant idea! Quick and easy to add fun glow games to your party. To make it glow even more you can add blacklights to make the glow sticks last longer and glow brighter.
