DIY Glowstick Brooms - Trick or Treat?

A No Candy Halloween Treat - should we consider this a trick or a treat? I'll let you decide! 

GLOWSTICK BROOM - NO CANDY HALLOWEEN TREAT - STYLED

Halloween has got to be one of my favorite holidays! Anything that calls for thematic party scheming – count me in! There’s just something about pumpkins, fall weather, dressing up, and get-togethers that make it all-the-more exciting. 

Back in my Kindergarten teaching days, it was always so heartwarming to see my students get excited to see what their friends would dress up as. Not to mention how creative some their costumes were! It was always one of my favorite holidays in the classroom.

Today I’m sharing a fun treat for kids. I originally got this idea from Northstar's blog, and have reused this idea for many years back in my teaching days -- so rest assured - it's been kid-tested. Candy is inevitable when it comes to Halloween, but these Glow Stick Brooms are a super fun alternative. Plus, they can wear them when they go trick-or-treating! I don’t know about you, but glow sticks were my jam as a kid!

So let’s get crafting!

What you’ll need:

Materials: 

– glow stick bracelets

– black bakers twine (orange works too!)

– black felt

– Happy Halloween labels (printed on cardstock) 

Tools

- fabric scissors

- small hole punch

Directions: 

1. Print your broomstick labels + cut them into rectangles (or flag shaped like I did!), leaving enough space to include a hole punch. Using your hole puncher, punch holes in the labels.

2. Put each bracelet cap on. Be very careful not to crack the bracelet to activate it!

3. Using your fabric scissors, cut out 3.5″ W x 3″ H strips of felt. Then in those strips, cut out some vertical strips about half way in height for the broom fringe effect.

4. Take your glow stick and roll the felt around it. Using the bakers twine, thread through one of your labels and tie in a bow around each broom, securely tying the felt fringe.

    cwkidslifestyle,

    Want to be Instagram cool?

    Well, today I’m going to teach you the best way to amazingly improve the way you Instagram.

    Now, imagine that it is Friday and you’ve just woken up from a sound slumber.

    You spring up to check your phone.

    Open the Instragram App.

    Wow, you think, Over 800 likes on one picture.

    You rise out of the bed, and head to the kitchen. You want a drink, so you put the kettle on for some tea, and check Instagram again.

    Bam! Another 49 likes.

    Here comes another one. This time it is not a like but a message from one of your followers. They flatter you on your success and let you know they absolutely love your content.

    As you read it, you begin to smirk. It is a amazingly attractive person, and they love your posts.

    As you begin to write back, your phone buzzes again.

    It’s another message coming in. You glance up at the clock—almost time for the gym. You’ll have to reply later.
    Let’s stop the simulation there. Most people have a hard time acquiring what they want in life. People can hardly force themselves to eat a good breakfast.

    Now, this is the point in time where you learn to take control of your Instagram.

    Imagine if you could raise your popularity by 100%, or 1000%?

    This is all great, but you’ve actually got to put in the work to make it happen. OK, you got me, it is not real work.

    How’s it going, cwkidslifestyle?

    Want to be Instagram famous?

    Ever wondered what it feels like to be an Instagram Influencer?

    Imagine: It’s the wee hours of the morning and you’ve promised yourself you’d hit the gym today.

    You roll over in bed to check your cell.

    Navigate your way to your page.

    You‘re surprised at what is waiting for you: Over 738 likes on one of your pictures! There, you see a a huge amount of likes on your pictures—over 738 on a single photo alone.

    You rise out of the bed, stalk to the kitchen. You want a drink, so you place the kettle on for some tea, and check Instagram again.

    Bam! Another 20 likes.

    And here comes another message. It’s from one of your many fans asking about your workout regime, and giving you daps on your third official month of practicing yoga.

    A grin grows on your face as you receive another message. This person emailed you to let you know she loves your posts.

    While you sip your tea, you start typing up your response. But then your cell buzzes.

    Oops, another ping. But no time to reply—you’ve got to hit the gym.
    Anyways, you get the point. This is the life of an Instagram celebrity. I should know, because I have made many of them.

    My job is to take people from Instagram no one to Insta-celebrity. (It sounds ridiculous, but results do not lie.)
