Description

Create your own magical GLOW IN THE DARK MOON ROCKS that light up the night! Perfect for sensory play, room decor, or a fun science project.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup baking soda
  • ¼ cup water (more if needed)
  • Glow-in-the-dark non-toxic paint or glow pigment powder (kid-safe if for play)
  • Optional: Glitter or food-safe coloring for extra sparkle
  • Optional: Small rocks or crumbled chalk (for texture)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Glow Base – In a bowl, combine baking soda with a few teaspoons of glow paint or powder. Stir until evenly colored.
  2. Add Water Slowly – Gradually mix in water until the texture resembles damp sand (adjust with more water or baking soda as needed).
  3. Boost the Fun – Stir in glitter, food coloring, or small rocks for extra texture and shine.
  4. Shape the Rocks – Mold the mixture into small, rocky shapes with your hands.
  5. Dry & Set – Place on a tray and let air-dry overnight until hard.
  6. Light Up the Night – Charge the rocks under a light, then turn off the lights to watch them glow!

Notes

  • For extra glow, use a blacklight to intensify the effect.
  • Kid-friendly version? Ensure all materials are non-toxic and supervise playtime.
  • Make them last – Store in a sealed container to keep moisture out.
