What materials should I use?

Materials labeled “neon” or “fluorescent” usually will glow under black lights. Yellow, orange, pink and green glow the best. Blue and purple sometimes will not glow or are dull. Here are some materials I like to use:

· Highlighters

· Crayola neon oil pastels

· Crayola neon crayons

· Fluorescent tempera or acrylic paint

· Fluorescent paper or cardstick

· Neon pipecleaners

· Neon beads

· White Model Magic with highlighter or paint

How do I prepare my room?

Make sure to block out all natural light. Sometimes you may need to use dark paper to cover emergency lights or other light coming in. The darker the room, the better the UV light will make your materials glow!
