Can you think of a more thrilling duo than dinosaurs and glow-in-the-dark magic? Gloplay sent us their stick-and-peel dinosaur stickers, designed to be applied, removed, and re-applied for endless adventures. Whether on walls, bathtubs, or tuff trays, these versatile stickers open up limitless opportunities for imaginative play.

For this small world play setup, a mini dinosaur landscape was recreated, with stickers thoughtfully arranged to enhance the sensory experience. "Volcano" cones, a wide assortment of dinosaur figurines, glow-in-the-dark pebbles, aquarium rocks, and homemade glow-in-the-dark slime were adde creating a truly next-level tactile adventure. To take it to the next level, black lights were used, bringing every sticker, pebble, and slime swirl to life in a mesmerizing glow.

The result? A space where children’s exploration deepened naturally. The interplay of shapes, patterns, shadows, light, and color captivated their attention, inviting longer, more meaningful play. Through carefully curated materials like these, we honor children’s interests while nurturing their imagination, encouraging problem-solving, wonder, and limitless creative thinking.

Glow-in-the-dark dinosaur adventures are more than just fun—they’re a gateway to curiosity, learning, and endless discovery.

Glow Slime Recipe (from the Bay Area Discovery Museum)

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the white glue and shaving cream. Mix thoroughly until fluffy.

  2. Add the glow paint and stir until fully blended.

  3. Slowly add the liquid starch, folding and mixing as you go.

  4. The slime may be sticky at first—knead it with your hands until it reaches the right consistency.

  5. If the slime is still too sticky, add a little more liquid starch until it’s perfect!

Tip: Store in an airtight container to keep your glow slime soft and stretchy.
