They had so much fun.

It includes a bunch of glow in-the-dark necklaces & a couple of sticks or ground stakes. We attach one necklace to each stake using string, duct tape or electrical tape, leaving enough of the stake uncovered so it can be put into the ground. Then we insert the stakes in the ground. Assemble the necklaces see who can get the most rings over the stakes.
