What Makes It Shine
Inside the fire, there are really small bits called glow bugs. These glow bugs are like little flashlights that turn on when you light the fire. They make the fire look bright and colorful, just like when you shine a flashlight through colored cellophane.
How It Keeps Going
The glow bugs need something to keep them happy. When you light the fire, it gives them energy, like when you eat a big lunch and have lots of energy to play. The more energy they get, the brighter they shine, just like how you might run faster after eating your favorite snack!
And that’s why Day Glow Fire looks so cool, it's just tiny lights having fun inside a stick!
