Kids can use this idea to paint decorations on the windows for any holiday celebration (Christmas, Kwanzaa,
Chanukah, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, or Thanksgiving) or use it any time throughout the year.
You can use this recipe to make any
type of Window Decoration you want. The kids can make
snowflakes, animals, flowers, hearts, Thanksgiving, or Christmas objects. The choice is up to
them!
Materials - icing sugar, food coloring, water
Sift about 1/4 cup of icing sugar into a
small bowl. Add a few drops of water to make a
paste. It needs to be thick enough to use as paint, but
thin enough to put on the window. Add food coloring to
create different colors.
Use a paint brush to fill in large
areas. A toothpick works well for dots.
You can even tape a design to the
outside of the window if your children aren't sure what to
paint.
Clean-up: Wipe off with a warm wash cloth.
Note to parents:
If the window paint is too thin, it could slowly pull down before it
dries. Either 'paint' it back up, or use a wash cloth to clean
these areas.
