Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt

Bigger kids always love an egg hunt, even if they insist that they don’t believe in the Easter bunny:) There is something about childhood that makes magical traditions special, no matter how old you are. While a 2-year-old might not be awake for a dark Easter hunt, 10-year-olds are! Teenagers are also REALLY good at helping create this glowing scene for other kids. What is there not to love about an Eater egg hunt?

Then, turn the candles on (or activate the glowsticks) and place them inside the Easter eggs. In the daytime, the eggs won’t glow very brightly. But, your hard work will pay off as the sun goes down and the beautiful bright colors shine! Both the candles and glowsticks will shine for hours!
