So lately Reese has been obsessed with turning the lights off. It doesn't matter what we are doing, we often end up doing it in the dark. Well tonight she kept turning them off so we got out the flashlights. She loves to carry them around and play with them in her tent. I remembered I had bough a tube of glow sticks for $1 at Target. So we got 6 of them out and made them into rings. She wore them on her wrist for awhile. We also had a dark dance party. But we ended up playing a game of glow-in-the-dark hide and seek which was super fun. Spence would take Reese into her room and I would "hide" the 6 rings around the house. They would count to 10 and yell "ready of not, here we come." Then Reese would find all the rings and we would count them with her. She wanted to do it again and again. She was really entertained. So this activity was fun, cheap and impromptu.
I will be trying this with hiding other items and seeing if she can find them. We are going to be doing a little Mommy school unit on apples and I think I'll hide different paper cut outs of apples around the house and let her collect them in a basket. I'll let you know if she thinks it is fun with the lights on :)
Another activity side note- We have also used the glow sticks in the bath tub for a glow-in-the-dark bath which was super fun.
