GUIDE PARTY - ATLANTA PARENT MAGAZINE
GLOW Have Some Fun!                   Kids and teens alike will love having a glow-in-the-dark party,
                                        think glow sticks, lots of neon and black lights.

                                        Decor:
                                        Purchase large rolls of black craft paper (enough to cover walls or a
                                        photo area) and neon paint. Paint words, patterns or splatter paint with
                                        different colors. When dry, hang on the wall. Purchase lots of black lights
                                        for the party, this way everyone and everything will glow. Stick glow sticks
                                        inside of balloons for a colorful decoration.

                                        Food:
                                        Tonic water can be added to punch, juice or lemonade to glow under
                                        black light. Adding crushed Vitamin B2 tablets makes most foods glow.
                                        White foods reflect black light, such as marshmallows, vanilla ice cream
                                        or tortilla chips.

                                        Games:
                                        Fill empty water bottles with glow sticks, turn off the lights and bowl in the
                                        dark. Use circular-shaped glow sticks and play ring toss around a post.
                                        Play glow tag: Give each person a glow-in-the-dark necklace. Give the
                                        person who is “it” a glow necklace in a different color. When a player has
                                        been tagged, he is out.

                                        Favors:
                                        Make glow slime by mixing psyllium husks (found in the health foods
                                        aisle), water and Vitamin B2 tablets. Once mixed, this will glow under a
                                        blacklight and feel like slime (without the sticky part).
                                                                                                         Cont’d on page 20

Let Them Eat (No) Cake
        Who says a traditional cake has to be the birthday centerpiece?
        n Create a donut cake or a donut holes tower, or stack Oreos for a lighter bite. Use
        examples at pinterest.com for inspiration.
        n Arrange multi-colored cupcakes like balloons on a large serving dish, then add
        strings and a bow (or arrange as a number corresponding to the child’s age).
        n Build a brownie tower (make the treats or buy them), and decorate with candles
        and berries. See howdoesshe.com for a pretty example.
        n Make cake kabobs by putting cubes of sheet cake on a skewer and layering with
        frosting, then drizzle with frosting or top with sprinkles.
        n Make cone cupcakes, using flat-bottomed ice cream cones. (Find an easy
        recipe and instructions at bettycrocker.com or use bakery cupcakes; a frosting demo
        is at tastemade.com.)
