I think I will wear one on my finger when I give them out so the kids will know what they are.

Finger lights
They are finger lights and work great!
Especially when you are working with black or navy fabric.
The white band is a Velcro strap that goes around your finger of choice
and under it is the on/off switch. I have only one and use it while
sewing and while crocheting and love it. You are lucky to have so many!

How about toe lights -walking thru house at night to see what one is stepping on... have a cat that lays toys on the floor all night long right in the middle of my pathways! This would be helpful--- just kidding!

Also, that her husband scooped one quickly to wear like that when he was doing plumbing and needed light under the kitchen sink.
I was gullible and bought one ... and never got the knack of it on my glasses, around my finger or any other way tha I could figure it may work.
