Making Glow in the Dark Easter Eggs is such a fun twist on an average Easter egg hunt. Today I’m going to show you two different ways how to make Glow in the Dark Easter Eggs. Put them out in the dark for kids on Easter for a nighttime egg hunt! You’ll love how easy this is to do and how you can reuse your supplies next year.

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?

Supplies

1. Large plastic Easter eggs (or jumbo eggs). You can find them here online.
2. Flameless tea lights (like these)
UPDATE: Here’s a second way of creating glow in the dark eggs – They now sell small glow sticks just for putting in Easter Eggs. Find them here!

Begin by activating the tea lights. This is usually done by removing a plastic tab on the bottom of the candle. If you’re using the small egg glowsticks, you activate them by bending them until you hear a cracking noise.

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!

Love being crafty for the holidays? Considering making a Wash Cloth Bunny or Bunny Lollipops. They are so adorable and everyone will want to know how you made them! Did you see our NEWEST Easter craft this year? These Bunny Ear Napkins will look so adorable on your Easter table.
