Halloween Costumes - camp, glow stick
I'm in an '80s band and I needed a lot of glow bracelets to hand out for free at shows. After a lot of research, I found this to be the best bargain. Out of 100, only two did not glow and one broke open... due to bending too may times too hard. As long as my band keeps playing, I'll continue to buy these! 100 8" Glow Light Stick Bracelets (colors may vary)
Whoever invented this is truly a winner, in my mind. This inexpensive toy is made of plastic, with a liquid substance inside. Once activated by bending the plastic a glow emerges. Though the liquid is toxic,the durable surface takes much beating to break. This makes the product safer, than other light up toys on the market!
These are a great substitute for those dangerous 4TH Of July SPARKLERS.
Campfires will be a hit,when each kid has their own light source. Scare away those frightful ghouls and ghosts, after the kids hear those spooky campfire stories!
Fall activities taking place at night are the perfect time for light sticks. Haunted attractions hayrides, and houses sell these toys for more than, buying and bringing your own!
Bring this on your trick-or-treating venture instead of bulky flashlights,that eat up expensive batteries. Then BREAK! A LARGE HOLD UP FOR ANTSY KIDS! Make the night simpler, with a boost of colors, and energy!
Well I ordered these glow sticks for a dance and I needed them kinda fast so I chose to use the 2 day shipping. The shipping cost was more than the glow sticks but it was okay. What really disappointed me was the quality of the glow sticks. When It came to use them for the dance i realized that most of the glow sticks were dim and some didn't work. This was even worse for the blue and green ones because more than 80% of them didn't glow or were really dim compared to glow sticks I have used before. I'm not sure if these glow sticks cracked in transit or if that's how they are. I wouldn't recommend buying these glow sticks unless you don't like the colors green and blue because the rest of the colors worked somewhat better.
I got these for a sleep-over party and the kids loved them! There were plenty and they had fun making hats and chains and all sorts of things with them. Every single one lit up and were bright enough to show up in a lit room. Some were even still glowing in the morning. HINT: if you activate one and want to suspend the glowing-life put it in the freezer and when you take it out it will glow when it warms to room temp.
I was very disapointed with these glow sticks. They were very dim, even in complete darkness, and many were not completely full. I don't know what other reviewers received, but I would not recommned these.
I purchased these for our son's "Mad Science" 5th b-day party and wish I hadn't, as we ended up with an ambulance on-site and paramedics treating our son's eyes for a possible chemical burn.
As guests arrived, we handed them a glow stick and the "Mad Science" instructor began to tell them what makes a glow stick glow. Within seconds of handing them out, two glow sticks cracked, splattering glow liquid into the faces of the two boys holding them, one of whom was our son who got it into his eyes and began screaming in pain. We rushed him to the kitchen, stuck his head in the sink and let the water run, rinsing his eyes, while Grandma called 911 to ask if we should take him to Urgent Care. Dispatch immediately sent an ambulance and advised that we should continue rinsing his eyes to prevent a chemical burn. Well, thank goodness that the other little boy didn't get it in his eyes and that we were quick to rinse our son's eyes with water - when the paramedics arrived, they said that our quick action likely prevented permanent damage.
Parents, use extreme caution when giving glow sticks to your children!! I can honestly say that our son will likely never go near one again...
For the record, the "Mad Science" instructor said that she'd never seen a glow stick break like that in her 9 years of doing the parties and recommended that we return them to the company. The paramedics, however, said that they get calls all the time about the glow sticks breaking and kids ingesting the glow liquid, which can contain glass crystals. YIKES!
This bundle of 100 glow in the dark bracelets is wonderful and a big money saver. They work great and are long lasting. This pack will last me and my 3 girls a long long time. Great for 4th of July Camping and Halloween. - Camping - Party Favors - Camp - Glow Stick'
