Brighten the Night (and Your Kids' Spirits) With Glow Sticks

By: Jim Busby




They're fun, they're safe and they're practical. What's not to love? Glow sticks give kids a new measure of fun to summer nights they will love, plus heightened safety parents will find irresistible.

Summer means fun. And summer means playing outside. Summer also means weekend-long family reunions, holiday celebrations and parties. Be prepared for those extended events by stocking up on glow sticks for your nighttime outdoor events.

Glow sticks are small wands (the most popular size is six inches - although you can get glow necklaces and glow glasses, as well) that contain reactive, non-toxic substances. When the stick is bent, a little glass tube inside the plastic stick breaks, allowing the two substances to combine to create a long-lasting glow. In the case of necklaces or glasses, you give them a quick snap to combine the non-toxic chemical substances.

These fun little light emitters are great for extending the life of your party. And now, with the summer holidays coming up, you'll want to make sure you've got plenty of them on hand. Use them for Memorial Day, Independence Day (they're more fun than sparklers - not to mention safer and more long lasting!) and Labor Day, too. And don't forget your own individual celebrations - graduation parties, beach parties, romantic getaways, camping trips - the possibilities are endless.

Lots of towns host summer-evening events. Among the most popular are Friday-night movies in the park, weekend-long festivals, band concerts. Selling glow sticks can be a great way to generate funds at these types of festive public events. Kids love the pretty colors and fun, flexible shapes (specifically the necklaces and the glasses) and the long-lasting glow. Parents appreciate the safety they afford their kids, as well as the low price.

Parents also like the fact that the glow sticks come in so many different colors. They can give each of their children a different colored glow stick and let them go play, secure in the knowledge they can keep track of them in the dark, distinguishing each one by his or her individual light color.

And, with multiple colors to choose from, parents can assign one color of glow stick to each child and easily be able to keep track of who's where - just by watching for the different colored lights darting about in the dark.

Even adults' summer-night events can benefit from some brightening up: evening pool parties, backyard parties, apartment-dwellers' porch parties perhaps even a midnight swim or a quiet soak for two in the hot tub. You can try hanging glow sticks from low-hanging tree branches for a fun, festive touch (doing that yields an especially appealing effect when there's a slight breeze and the glow sticks sway in the dark).

Colorful, long-lasting glow sticks are great to have along on camping trips and weekend beach parties, too. You never know when someone in your group is going to have to go looking for the bathroom facilities after dark.
