Glow-in-the-Dark Rain Cloud in a Jar

Instructions:

Fill the Jar:

Fill the jar about 3/4 full with warm water.

Create the “Cloud”:

Shake the shaving cream and add a generous amount on top of the water to form a fluffy “cloud” that slightly rises above the rim.

Mix Your Colors:

In separate small cups or bowls, mix your glow-in-the-dark food coloring (or neon liquid watercolors) with a little water to thin it out.

Drop in the Rain:

Using a dropper or spoon, slowly drop the colored liquid onto the shaving cream cloud. Watch as it builds up and then begins to “rain” down into the jar, creating a magical glow effect!

Illuminate the Scene:

Turn off the lights and shine a blacklight or UV flashlight on the jar to activate the glow-in-the-dark effect. Watch the glowing rain fall through the “cloud” for a dazzling display!
