Eek, it’s already almost Easter! Can you believe it?
I feel like it was just Christmas yesterday – LOL!
Well, to get crackin’ on this upcoming holiday I wanted to share with you some fun Easter Egg Decorating Ideas this week, so be sure to check back this week for more fun Easter Egg ideas.
Today: Glow in the Dark Easter Eggs
I saw the idea at Mommy Savers and knew it would be perfect for our Family Home Evening Activity.
The kids LOVED it! It is so easy to do and so fun too!
SUPPLIES:
-Plastic Easter Eggs
-Glow Sticks (found in the dollar section at Target, Michael’s, Dollar Store)
-Tape
-Candy
DIRECTIONS:
1. Snap glow sticks so they are glowing and insert into eggs along with some candy. They can be a little tricky to fit in and close easily.
The easiest thing we’ve found that helps is putting on the connector piece to the glow stick making it a circle, and then twisting it to be two circles and then putting it inside the egg. 
Tape shut and HIDE.
That’s it – Told you it was EASY!
What’s great about these eggs is that are FUN! Even the hubby was temped to go out and find them during the hunt since he thought they looked so cool.
Now you can do it with your own kiddos at home and I promise they’ll love it!
Be sure to check back this week for more Easter Egg Ideas.
ENJOY!
What a fun idea! I’m going to try and find the short (2″) glow sticks today!
Genius! My 4 year old can’t stop asking me about these and what will happen if someone touches them.
Oh yes, my 4 year old LOVED it. They were totally confused as to why it glowed but loved the hunt and opening it up to find the glow sticks AND candy. Bonus!!
Such a fun idea! I think even my older boys would like these!

That’s a great idea, Janet!! I can’t get over how much fun it was. The kids loved it, and even my hubby couldn’t stop looking at the eggs. LOL – we’re nerds. Haha!

Thanks, friend!! Your kiddo would love them too – they are just so fun to look at.
Fun! Sounds like a great idea. Now I’ve just got to get my hands on some plastic eggs and I’m set!
Let me know how it goes. My kiddos LOVED it!! Have a great week and a Happy Easter.
I love this idea. My 6 year old is obsessed with egg hunts and this would be a fun twist to that. Thanks for sharing. I would love it if you could link this up to our linky party going on right now.

Thank you!! He will definitely love the glow in the dark eggs. They just look so cool when they are all lit up and spread out on the yard. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my gosh! I just love this idea! My son and nephews will just have a blast hunting for these. Thanks for the awesome tip!
You’re welcome, Courtney! It’s so fun especially because with our family we are always rushing to get it done before it gets too dark but now we solved that problem! Hope your kiddos like it. Have a great Easter!
Great idea! The last couple of years, because my kids are a little older, I’ve done a flashlight Easter egg hunt at night, where I’ve painted the eggs with glow in the dark paint, to make the hunt a little more challenging than a daytime hunt. But the glow sticks in the eggs will be perfect for the young guests.
Jennifer – painting the eggs in glow in the dark pant is awesome too!!! Great idea! Will have to try that out next year! Thanks for coming over to say hi. Hope you can come back again.
I love this idea. Definitely saving it to do with my kids. Thanks!

Your kids will love it. We already did it once but the kids had so much fun we may have to do it one more time before Easter is over.
So cute! I wonder if those little light up votives would fit in there so at least you could have eggs that turn on and off.
Ooooh – great idea!! Let me know if you try it out. Would love to add that option to the post. Thanks for stopping by! XO
Wow, now you can hunt eggs after dark…..an easy hunt too. I wouldn’t lose these either. love it…I’m glad I found your blog at the Creations by Kara party. II liked you on FB, but I didn’t see a follow button,, so I can keep in touch. I would love if you stopped by and followed back on LF and GFC. Nice to meet you, Lori

You’re welcome! It really is a great idea and the kids love it!
I can not find the sticks anywhere! Where did you all find them?
I find mine at the local dollar store, or in the dollar sections at Target or Michael’s. There is like 15 in a tube, and they’re $1.
I adore this!! Thank you for the fun activity–I wanted to share our experience with you. I blogged about the fun we had and left linky love on my blog of fun kids activities. Thanks again!

May I use your glow in the dark picture on my private blog to have a visual to link to your post on this? We did a glow in the dark hunt and it was a great success, but we didn’t get a photo of any glowing eggs.
Sure thing! As long as you link back you can always use a pic from my blog. Thanks for asking.
I absolutely love this!! I actually don’t have children myself, but enjoyed doing it for the kids in the family! I think the adults enjoyed it more than some of the kids!! It was a blast! We did a glow in the dark egg hunt both Saturday and Sunday nite! Thanks so much!
Genuinely when someone doesn’t know then its up to other viewers that they will assist, so here it occurs.
