Totally Cool!
Latesha Van - August 15, 2011
I used the Glitter Bug Lotion for something completely different! I hand a summer camp that was geared around THE Avatar: The Last Airbender tv show and I mixed the lotion with face paint to put arrow "TATTOOS" on them. The kids loved it because when the lights were out and the black lights were turned on THEIR ARROWS GLOWED LIKE THE AVATAR STATE!!! |

So Much Fun!!!
Tesha V - June 16, 2011
At first, my kids just thought it was hilarious. They just wanted to touch everything, until they realized that it showed exactly how germs spread!!!! I couldn't get them out the bathroom! They were trying to wash themselves, their toys even help clean the house. FABULOUS PRODUCT!!! :-D |

Great Project
Rachel - March 21, 2011
I used this lotion in combination with the hand held blacklight to teach my Kindergarten through Fifth grade children about proper handwashing techniques. It really showed the kids the places that they miss when they rush to wash their hands. The only thing that confused the younger kids was trying to get them to understand that germs don't really glow under a blacklight and that the lotion wasn't really made of germs. |

Glowing Germs
Kelli Higgins - February 1, 2011
This was a great way to introduce our "Germ" unit! The Glitter Bug lotion glows under a black light. It really highlights areas on our hands where germs collect. Even after washing their hands the students were amazed at how many "germs" still remained. Now we're off to collect germ samples in Petri dishes! |

GLITTER BUG
Julie - January 22, 2011
I gave my nephew a Mad Science 9th birthday party. We used the Glitter Bug before we entered the "lab" to do our experiments. I explained that a scientist needs to have really clean hands before conducting his experiments. The boys really liked this and thought the black light was cool. |

Glitter Bug Lotion
Rhonda Robinson - November 29, 2010
I ordered this thinking it would be neat but was hesitant it might not work well. It was AWESOME! It's amazing how dirty ones hands can get and be able to see how well we wash. Just one bottle was plenty for a science event I did with over 100 in attendance. |

Glitter bug lotion - big hit
Catherine - October 24, 2010
Seems just like regular lotion. I rubbed a little on the kids faces too (just a little at first to make sure no reactions). Turned the black light on and got great results. Kids loved it. Mom thought it was pretty entertaining too. |

Best thing for kid participation ever!
Jenny Brown - September 7, 2010
We gave everyone in Children's Church a squirt of this in their hands and let them go around the room "painting with light." They left fingerprints everywhere and when we turned on the black light, there was a universe of stars all over the room. SO COOL! And after all that, the bottle of lotion isn't even half empty! |

Perfect for CSI Unit
Rebecca - April 25, 2010
I teach Sunday School and this was perfect for our "CSI Jerusalem" unit. The kids washed their hands before class and put on my special lotion. After 30 minutes of classtime we went into our special black light room and discussed how CSI investigators use chemicals and black lights to find DNA and other evidence. I asked them if their hands were still clean. They assured me they were. The regular lights went off and the black lights went on. The kids were astonished how many germs were on their hands just by touching everyday items. The Glitter Bug Lotion even identified the kids who had rubbed their nose! The Biblical analogy is that we look on the outside of a person and we don't see sin but God can see it and still loves us and offers forgiveness. |

Great idea for my kid's teacher
Brett Adams Lonetree, Colorado - September 7, 2009
This would be a great experiment for my kid's teacher to do in class since everything that comes home now day is talking about the spread of the Swine Flu. Good way for kids to see how germs are easily spread. |
