Glowing Water Recipe for Kids
Materials
Method
- Making glow water is simple! All you need are non-toxic yellow highlighters and water. Pop the back off of the marker and pull out the ink soaked felt that is inside.
- Then run the ink-soaked felt under a small stream of water with a container underneath to catch it.
- Squeeze the felt as the water runs over it to get all of the coloring out of the highlighter.
- That's it! Easy, right?
- Turn the lights off and the blacklight on to see the water glow. This is the blacklight fixture that we have. These blacklight flashlights also work great!
I used roughly 6 cups of water per highlighter and ended up with insanely bright glow water! Yellow highlighters make such a BRIGHT glowing water, and there are so many fun ways to use this water in play.
I tried to make glow water using every other color highlighter that I had on hand, and none of them glowed. I was so disappointed, as some of the highlighters would glow in the black light when you used them to write, but then the water would not glow.
