If your kids like glitter (what kid doesn’t like glitter?), they will LOVE this activity. Time to make for the nearest craft store, they’re going to love these.
Fairies in a jar is probably the cutest (and easiest) indoor activity we’ve seen in a while. In fact, we might make them just to furnish our homes – never mind keep the kids entertained.
What you need
- Jar with a lid
- Glow sticks
- Scissors
- Glitter
What you do
- Crack glow sticks until they start to glow.
- Cut the glow sticks and shake the contents into the jar. (The liquid stains so make sure you protect surfaces and clothes.)
- Use as many glow sticks as you like – the more you use the more glow you get.
- Pour in glitter.
- Put the lid on the jar and SHAKE until the glitter is on all sides of the jar.
The glow should last all night but for a more permanent fairy jar use glow-in-the-dark paint instead of glow sticks. Just put dots of paint in the jar before adding glitter, sealing and shaking.
