Create your own glowing character show! Take a toilet paper roll, cover it with clear tape, and draw your favorite characters or cool designs on the tape with clear markers. When you're done, shine a flashlight through the roll and watch the designs light up like magic! It's like turning your roll into a magical glowing lantern that brings your artwork to life. Perfect for storytelling, room decoration, or creating your own light show!
A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Tape, Markers, and Flash lights.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
