But I did find glow in the dark bubbles in my local Wal-Mart and I snatched them up quickly. <br /><br />HOWEVER, the bubbles did not glow as one would expect them to. We were very un-impressed with them, but decided to use the solution as glow-sidewalk paint instead. Here's a link to the pictures I took that evening:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/leigh49137/7225157352/in/set-72157629800676736<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149061754975305012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-73899182247360158702012-09-04T14:10:50.184-06:002012-09-04T14:10:50.184-06:00The hubs and I attempted this one to entertain the...The hubs and I attempted this one to entertain the little ones at a family gathering, and the only thing we accomplished was squirting the glow stuff in his eye. Although we bought glow sticks of the non-toxic variety, I have been eagerly awaiting his development of a super power to accompany his day-glo corneas. (I joke because he's fine. The eye stopped glowing after rinsing with a bottle of water and no super human capabilities have been expressed. Yet.)

Glass is not picked up by the bubble wand when it is dipped into the bubble solution.

Wouldn't opening the plastic and pouring the "glow" into your bubbles also put shards of glass into your bubbles? Not something I'd want to be putting up to my lips. So glad they now make glowing bubbles, I'll have to go check them out.

We had no trouble mixing the solution and we were able to blow bubbles fine but while the solution in the bottles glowed, the bubbles themselves did not. We were bummed but still had fun. I did find a few other recipes; one for blacklight glowing bubbles and one other for true glowing bubbles. For the blacklight you use the ink from highlighters. For glowing you use glow in the dark paint. Think I'll try to find some glow in the dark paint and give it another shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-58227899362341461602012-05-24T11:35:58.625-06:002012-05-24T11:35:58.625-06:00Was going to try the "glowing bubbles" f...Was going to try the "glowing bubbles" for a large family cookout.
