Glow in the Dark Water Beads – 10g Pack (Makes 1 Litre)
Add a subtle glow to your displays and projects with our Glow in the Dark Water Beads! This 10g pack expands in water to produce approximately 1 litre of soft, translucent beads with a gentle luminescent effect in low light. They’re perfect for ambient-themed events, calming sensory activities, or as a fun twist on classic water bead décor.
After exposure to bright light, the beads will softly glow in the dark — but it’s important to note that the glow is intentionally very subtle.
✨ Please note: The glowing effect is mild due to a limitation in how much glow pigment can be safely used. Increasing the glow agent would cause the beads to become brittle and prone to breaking, so the current formulation strikes a balance between functionality and glow. While the effect is fun, it's not strong like glow sticks or glow toys.
Key Features:
• Expands to approx. 1 litre of hydrated beads
• Soft glow after exposure to light
• Great for sensory bins, night-time displays, and unique party décor
• Non-toxic and reusable
• Subtle and gentle visual effect — not bright or intense
Perfect For:
– Subtle glowing vase fillers
– Low-light event displays
– Ambient sensory activities
– Glow-themed parties and DIY décor
How to Use:
If you’re looking for a soft, ambient shimmer in the dark — with all the fun and versatility of classic water beads — our Glow in the Dark Water Beads are a glowing success!
