I’m back! Man these past two weeks have been hard! Erin’s been sick, I’ve been sick, hubby has been sick, in-laws have been in town, birthdays, basketball game, we are all exhausted! However, it has been a great two weeks. I really enjoy having my in-laws around. Erin is really loving her Yi Yi (Mandarin for grandpa) and Ni Ni (Mandarin for grandma). I just wish she got to see them more than twice a year.
This morning, I decided to try a quiet mess free activity for Erin. I usually like to do the messy ones on bath days and today is a bath day, but I just didn’t have the energy in me. (I really should be napping right now, but I’m relying on my coffee to get me through this post) I found this activity on Pinterest a week or so ago and then my older sister re-pinned it from someone else with my name attached to it, so I had to pull this out.
The blog I read about this activity didn’t really give it a name, so I’m going to call it “mess free window paint.”
Supplies:
1) Ziploc bags of any size. I used gallon and sandwich size.
2) paint. I used Erin’s Crayola washable kids paint.
3) Tape
4) Window accessible to your child
First, I took two colors of paint each and poured one in each side of a Ziploc bag on the bottom, then sealed it closed. We have 10 colors, so I used 5 bags with 2 colors each. I randomly put the colors in.
Second, I used packing tape and taped the bags to our windows.
Third, I let the kid loose with them.
As you can see, Erin really seemed to enjoy them. I hung these up at around 9am. It’s currently 2pm, they are still hanging and paint has yet to dry or clump inside the bags.
Life With A Rainbow 
Great idea!!! I bet my little one would love this as long as she can’t pull them off the window.
Blessing, I used packing tape and just taped around all four edges. I don’t think shell be able to pull them off. You can always try and see.
Oh! If she breaks through packing tape, I’ve got some gorilla tape you can borrow! 🙂
