Target has the same ones Michaels does:  15 for $1.

No one has mentioned how difficult it is to fit the glow stick into the egg. Is there a hopeful hint to do this?

especially if you'd like to add a piece of candy.

I wound them around my finger first.  That worked well.

DD did this last night. OMG! The bracelet glow sticks are too thick! They barely fit in the eggs. We decided that we either needed bigger eggs or we needed to use more of the glow sticks that you find at the dollar store that make a "globe". Those tubes are thinner. Several of the bracelet glow sticks broke - and even splattered - so the kids ended up just cutting some in half and rubbed the glow-stuff on the outside of the egg.

 

It was fun but by the time we got the eggs loaded, I was too tired to do some serious hiding. They looked good, though.

We used the glow bracelets from Target's Dollar Spot.  We found that we had to twist them (wound them around our fingers in a spiral fashion) in order to fit inside the eggs.  We just used regular-sized eggs.

I just wanted to let you all know that they do make glow in the dark mouth lights also.  I am honestly not sure where you can get them or find them, but i do want to say that i thought the dollar tree or something like that sold them.  I don't know, but as soon as i figure it out, i'll post it.
