You will also need:
To make glowing rainbow glue all I had to do was add fluorescent paint to bottles of glue, stir, and shake!
- Begin by mixing 1 teaspoon of neon paint into a bottle of school glue.
- Repeat this process, using 1 bottle of glue for each glue paint color that you wish to make.
- Mix and shake the bottles until combined.
Playing with Glow-in-the-Dark Glue
There are lots of fun ways to use glue for art and sensory exploration. I set Rosie up with craft foam and paper.
Both girls had a blast making marbleized glue hearts and other glowing art designs.
She loved squeezing the glue bottles, which is great for fine-motor development.
After Rosie explored for a bit I brought Jewel in to play.
