DIY Glow Sticks in Balloons. Changes boring balloons at night into something fun. From Play at Home Mom here. She has more ideas for glow sticks on her site. She writes:

I purchased these glow sticks at the dollar store.  Bracelets come in a pack of five.  You can also get some at Michaels Craft Store in a pack of 15 for a buck!  If you store the glow sticks in the freezer after using them, they will last several nights.
