Glow In The Dark Stars
Fiat Lux - Let there be Light
Glow in the dark stars are a wonderful way to spark a child's imagination. Children are often very inquisitive about the world around them, and they are naturally in awe of the universe beyond. Who can blame them? The universe is a vast expanse of glimmering stars, and glow in the dark stars are a wonderful tool to help teach them all about it.
One of the most popular uses for glow in the dark stars is to use them in decorating a child's bedroom. In a matter of minutes, a plain bedroom ceiling can be transformed into a starry galaxy of seemingly endless possibility. Most of the glow in the dark stars on the market today have an adhesive on the back side that allows you to stick them just about anywhere. They come in various shapes and sizes, and they are sure to provide hours of entertainment.
Decorating a child's bedroom with glow in the dark stars is an excellent opportunity to do something both fun and educational. If you are considering something a little more permanent than sticky stars, you might also consider using some glow in the dark paint in your redecorating efforts. Imagine how eager your children will be to go to bed each night when a universe of starlight dreams await them.
Another creative use for glow in the dark stars is to create a solar system mobile that can be hung from the ceiling. This could be yet another educational opportunity for your children, as they will have so much fun creating their very own planetarium. There are a number of companies that sell planetarium kits, which often include a package of glow in the dark stars. Children just love to learn about the universe, and the planetarium will give them something to reflect upon as they drift off to sleep.
They can also be used in a wide variety of arts and crafts. A very simple craft for children of all ages is to create a magic wand. Simply attach a glow in the dark star to the end of a stick or wooden dowel and every girl and boy can be a fairy or wizard! For younger children, you may want to use a wooden craft stick similar to a stir-stick for paint. These sticks are flat with smooth, rounded edges, which make them safe for use by children. The stars can be fixed to the stick with a slight bit of glue. Let the magic begin!
Another fun and exciting craft using glow in the dark stars involves affixing them to a hat. This craft requires adult supervision. Begin by drilling a small hole in the peak of a star. Be sure the hole is large enough in diameter to accommodate a needle and thread. Once you have a handful of stars with holes in them, you can sew them around the edges of the hat. When the hat is worn, it gives the impression of being immersed in a sea of stars!
