Lightning Art

After learning about lighting, students were given glow-in-the-dark paint to create a lighting storm and to express themselves however they wanted. We gave them glow-in-the-dark bracelets and necklaces, & even painted their faces with glow-in-the-dark face paint. The students, all ranging from 2-5 years old, enjoyed this activity so much.
