Materials Needed
- Clear Contact Paper
- Scotch Tape
- Assorted decorative craft supplies of your choice
How to Do It
- Cut a large piece of clear contact paper to suit the portion of the window that you would like to use. Upon selecting a window, make sure that the child will be able to reach all areas of the contact paper with ease.
- Peel the backing off of the contact paper but hold it up to the window with the sticky side facing you.
- Use Scotch tape to adhere to corners of the contact paper to the window. Again the sticky part should be facing outward toward you.
- Create pictures with whatever craft supply medium that you have on hand. Some suggestions include, pom poms, feathers, googly eyes, paper scraps, colored toothpicks, string etc. Anything lightweight should stick.
