Fun Sparks – Spooky glow in the dark goo!

Kerry and I wanted to do a few fun Halloween activities, so today is the first of 3 spooky experiments.

I absolutely loved this post on glow in the dark play dough from Sun Hats and Wellie Boots, so we thought we would try it with goo.

Simply make the goo as described here and add some glow in the dark paint. We got ours from the Early Learning Centre.

Excuse the picture I had to take it without using the flash. Hold the goo under a light for a few minutes, then turn out the lights, it should glow in the dark.

Spooky!!!!
