Assembly

Fairy jars only take a minute to make, and they are SO PRETTY! All you have to do is carefully cut the tops off of a couple of large glow sticks . Then, carefully pour the contents of the glow sticks into a mason jar.



I recommend having an adult handle the glow sticks (see tips at the bottom of the post)

The glow stick juice in the jar is so pretty all by itself!

No matter how you make them the kids are sure to love these magical jars. After my girls marveled at them for a bit we placed them in the window for a nifty nightlight. Then, I stored the jars away for the next time we want to capture a fairy.

A Few Tips :

I usually handle the glow sticks and allow Rosie and Jewel to add the glitter to the jars.

I recommend cutting the glow sticks over a sink or trash receptacle just in case some of the liquid inside sprays or spills.

It is also important to note that some brands of glow sticks contain small pieces of glass once activated, so please use caution.

Glow sticks, jars, and glitter can all be purchased at the dollar store! _____________________ MORE for KIDS:
