UV Lamp

 I was trying to activate my glow in the dark yarn I got for Christmas.  I’m knitting a hat and want it to glow in the dark right away.  A few minutes of sunlight activates the yarn, too.  But I have a UV flashlight and thought it might be quicker.  It only took a few minutes with the UV lamp to get the yarn and hat to glow.  I hit my set of UV beads that were in the kit with the lamp, too.  Since I had out the UV flashlight  I thought I would mention the Glow Germ kits and the UV Beads.  If you have young kiddos, read Germs Make Me Sick as part of a handwashing lesson.  Since I had out the kit, I sprinkled a few germs on the table for my class to see how they glow.  Here is a list of other household items which glow under a black light.  Many stains glow, too.  While you are in the bathroom running experiments, scan the flash light or lamp over the sweatshirt, too.  Fun, right? (Paul insisted I add a mini ghost as a topper.)
