Last month my daughter received a box of the thin "break & shake" glow sticks as a gift. She played with them all evening and when I tucked her in, they were still glowing. <br /><br />I got to thinking how the glow sticks were being wasted as she was sleeping and couldn't enjoy them. Began to think about how to make them last longer.<br /><br />So after she fell asleep, I took the sticks and put them in the freezer thinking the cold would slow down the chemical reaction and they might last through the night.<br /><br />The next day I pulled one out, and she ran to a closet and supprise! It was still glowing! Not super bright, but at least 50% of where it starts.<br /><br />We put it back and forgot all about them until yesterday (a month or more later) while looking in the freezer I see them and pulled them out. Yep, as soon as they warmed up, they were glowing! <br /><br />Just thought I'd share. Your kids might get a kick out of it. Or maybe make a science project out of it.
