Glow-in-the-Dark Tie Dying for Kids
What could make tie dying even more fun?  Making it glow of course!  My kids had a blast making their own glow-in-the-dark shirts, and they LOVE wearing them!  Are you ready to make your own?

Materials
Note:  Kids will need a blacklight flashlight to make their shirts glow in the dark with any sort of intensity.  Mine LOVED using the flashlights to make their shirts illuminate! We used these super cool flashlights.  

Method
  • Begin by having kids draw a design on their t-shirt.  They can draw a traditional tie-dye type design, or they can get creative with it.

The possibilities are endless!  Be creative and have fun!

Note:  You can get neon Sharpies in a variety of colors on Amazon here.  The flashlights that we use for our glowing activities can be found here.  When using a blacklight I also recommend these uv-safety glasses.  My girls love wearing them, and they will protect kids eyes if (or shall we say when) they shine the lights at each other.
