Glow Stick Noodle Bowling

With the extreme heat lately I have tried to find some fun things to do inside to keep cool. I had seen on the Parenting website an article showcasing night bowling outside using glow sticks so I took that idea and changed it a little bit.

1. We went to the basement where is was cool and dark instead of waiting for night time.

2. We used a toy bowling ball at first but then my son grabbed the pool noodle and had a ton of fun knocking over the "pins" with that instead of a ball.

3. I added food coloring to the water bottles and then used 3 glow sticks in each bottle.

The pictures did not turn out as well but it was a lot of fun! :) We also brushed up on our colors, counting, and taking turns during this activity.

I haven't worked out how to take good "glow" pictures either.

Thanks for linking to the Sunday showcase.

Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. 3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4. Go have fun!!! This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.
