No Mess Window Painting: A Sensory Boredom Buster for Toddlers

No Mess Window Painting

It’s funny how the dynamic of our day is different when I have two toddlers versus just mine. She is a really sweet little girl, almost two years old, and hardly has any tantrums, but I still feel like I accomplish so much less with two.no mess- window painting- toddler crafts-

I am trying to make it a point to get out at least one time a day and two if I’m lucky but afternoon play dates are hard because we live in a heavy traffic area.

Today we had an early nap which made the ‘post nap slump’ extra long. The kids were a little crankier than normal and I just really wasn’t up to taking a walk or loading them in the car. SO we had to get creative. I’ve seen this circulating around Pinterest and it looked pretty fun and simple so I decided to try it out! I’m thinking we can keep them up for a week or so (or until my husband makes me take them down!)

Here’s how to make your own:

  1. Obtain medium or large Ziploc bag, fill bag with one or two colors of paint. (Okay don’t ‘fill’ it…leave some room for creativity.)
  2. Tape bag to window.
  3. Let the fun begin! I actually had about as much fun as the kiddos did. I like squishing it from the bottom up and then drawing shapes and pictures with my fingers. It’s a great learning tool for older kids too! They can write out letters, numbers, or draw shapes in the paint. Best part: No mess!

Taking care of two kids is no walk in the park! Crafts like this no mess window painting can really turn a day around. Maybe you will even have a chance to drink some coffee hot? Try it and let me know how it goes!

    I love this! We did this recently with my daughter and she loved it! I loved that it was so much easier to clean up than regular painting.
