Glow Markers (a 7 year old Review)

Yesterday, I was watching one of the kids that I teach while their parents went to an environmental thing. One of our projects was Crayola Glow Fusion Markers. He was so excited until we opened the box and I read the instructions. We realized that they were a one time use and lasted up to four hours. To activate, they broke like glow sticks. We hurriedly colored, timing it just right so his parents could also see the glow in the dark artwork before it was gone forever. He rated it one star, until I said it was a 0.5. Then, he changed his rating to a 0.5, because they didn’t glow in the dark forever. It was pretty fun to try, though.

Now, I have to figure out why markers last for four hours yet I’ve used printmaking ink on some prints and they still glow, after years.

0.5/5 Crayola. According to a 7 year old.
