I mentioned in a previous post that Aiden had purchased a window art set, courtesy of Aunt Sara and Uncle Pete. The kit comes with: what is basically a page protector, 6 sheets of paper with lots of different designs on them, black outliner liquid and about 6 other tubes of colored liquid. You slip your design into the page protector, outline with the black, let it dry for 1/2 an hour, then squeeze in the colors. The whole thing dries over night, then peels off the page to be placed on the window.


The first day we had the kit, the older boys did 2 designs each and they both went with an underwater theme. That night, I free-formed some waves and bubbles for the fish.

Over the next few days, we made lots and lots and lots of window clings. When Aiden asked for hot air balloons, I printed some off of the Internet. They required some adjustments so I shrank/enlarged them with our copier until they were the right size. The rainbow heart pictured below was made by Aiden "for you mommy". Sweet.
Then Aiden, of course, wanted some lizards (and we managed to find some good ones!). Here are two of his creations drying on the counter. The guys had to learn a lot about the overuse of the paint. Several of our designs "drowned" and had to be tossed...mostly because they would never ever dry.
Logan was working a space theme. He made a rocket (this is one I found for him), an astronaut, some planets and stars. I might have helped and made a sun :)

It's hard to see, but we ended up with three different levels of window clings: space, the air and the water. This is NOT the final window. We have a added a few more since I took this picture. I just made a rainbow outline for Aiden today.

Also...Logan liked just making small puddles of the colored paint. One night, I drew black lines around them before they were dry. These turned into "balls" that we put in the water to entertain the sea creatures. Window art is so cool!!
