1. Glowing Pumpkin Masterpieces

2. Neon Nature Scavenger Hunt
Host a Neon Nature Scavenger Hunt in the childcare outdoor area. Give children glow sticks or flashlights to find hidden treasures in the dark. This activity combines exploration, teamwork, and the thrill of discovery.
3. Luminary Paper Bag Lanterns
Craft Luminary Paper Bag Lanterns using flameless LED candles placed inside decorated paper bags. Allow children to express their creativity by drawing or cutting out designs on the bags. These glowing lanterns create a warm and safe ambiance.
4. Starry Night Storytelling
Arrange a Starry Night Storytelling session using flashlights to mimic stars. Gather children for a cozy storytelling time, letting them take turns sharing their favorite stories or creating impromptu tales under the “starry” night.
5. Glow Stick Dance Party

6. Firefly Jar Art
Guide children in creating Firefly Jar Art by painting glow-in-the-dark fireflies on glass jars. Place battery-operated tea lights inside for a whimsical display. This craft not only sparks creativity but also introduces the concept of glowing insects.
