Toddler SunCatchers/ No-Mess Finger Paint!

This is a great idea for kids walking age to age 5+. Of course the younger kids will be more excited by this but it is for everyone and a great piece of art. 

Grab some 1 Gal zip lock bags. I made three.. (You cant just make one)

using washable crayola paints Place some globs in the bag. 

Pic Your Colors. Add Globbs of paint on the inside of the bag

I am using Crayola's Washable Finger Paint - $4.39 at Meijer for 6 colors

Seal the bag... let your kids start to move it around.

HANDS ALL CLEAN!

SEE!!

"MOMMA THIS IS SOO MUCH FUN!"
Tape them to the window or sliding glass door. High enough so the smallest child can reach without falling over.

This is a great project for ALL ages. My cousin (21) thinks its awesome and sat for 20 mins making different designs in it as well as I.
A fun and Creative way to spend some time with your kids. Draw out some numbers or letters. ABC's & 123's. There is nothing wrong with learning while having fun!!


*Update: These lasted about 2-3 weeks! Super fun and we had a blast moving it around from window to window and catching the sun different ways. My son LOVES this and asks for it all the time! so its not just a spring, time thing. Great for ALL YEAR ROUND!

Have fun! I don't worry about him getting it every were although it is a rule "KEEP IT IN THE TUB!"  and he gets warnings if he gets out of control. Clean up is very easy! it does not stick to the floor unless floor is wet. This is a very fun and creative thing to do with your toddlers and preschoolers. Place it in a  1 gallon Zip lock bag for next time!

i am not sure were this originated but it is great sensory play!
