DIY Glowing Nightlight For Kids

Supplies Needed:

• Tonic Water
• A Jar
• Green Glow in the Dark Powder
• Optional: A blacklight

Directions:

• Fill a jar with tonic water.
  

  

• Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of glow in the dark powder to the tonic water.
  

  

• Shake or stir to dissolve the powder.
  

  

• Allow to ‘charge’ in direct sunlight or shine a black light on the jar to watch it glow!
  

  

• You could omit the powder if you have a blacklight, as tonic water will naturally glow in the dark. I used pink glow in the dark powder to offer a fun green glow when the lights are turned off!
  

  

• The Quinine in tonic water has properties that are sensitive to ultraviolet light, which gives off a great bluish glow naturally.
