We have been doing some experimenting this week and have come up with some NEW play recipes! This next one I am most excited to share! Many of you are familiar with the glowing water we shared last year. While we love it I have always wished there was an alternative for parents who are uncomfortable using the highlighter water. There have also been some play times we have tried with the highlighter water that have failed. This NEW glow water recipe is a great alternative to using highlighters and we have already come up with all sorts of ways to play with it that we couldn't with the other glow water recipe.
Glowing RAINBOW Water

GLOWING Water Without Highlighters!
Back when we first played with glow water I had tried to experiment and create a rainbow of glowing water. However, I was only able to create four colors. Now we finally have a glowing rainbow of water to choose from and add to our play!
To make Glowing RAINBOW Water you will need:
- Water
- Fluorescent paint
THAT'S IT! The recipe couldn't be more simple. Just add a few tablespoons of the fluorescent paint color of your choice into very warm or hot water and stir. Stir until the paint is completely mixed into the water. The warmer the water the faster the paint turns to a liquid and mixes in.
The fluorescent paint we use
The purple glows the least. For some reason that fluorescent paint color isn't as vibrant but it still GLOWS! You can really see it glowing best when it isn't beside the other insanely glowing waters.
We have been playing with this glow water all week and have found all sorts of NEW ways to play with it! We have been able to do things with this water that we couldn't do with the other glowing water. I am SUPER EXCITED to share our first play activity using this glowing water tomorrow. Be sure to check back as it is a must see play time if you love fun kids activities!
