Weather Window Activity

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Try this fun indoor activity with your child!

Materials:

  • Clear dishwashing liquid
  • Pre-mixed tempera paints in a variety of colors
  • Aluminum foil muffin pan
  • Paint brushes

*Children should have adult supervision throughout this activity.

Directions:

  1. An adult should mix about 1 Tbsp. of dishwashing liquid with 1/2 Tbsp. of paint. The mixture should have a creamy consistency, like house paint.
  2. Pour various paint colors into the wells of a muffin pan to create a pallet.
  3. Children can paint ‘sunny day’ scenes on windows and sliding glass doors. Use a different brush for each color.

TIP: Keep paint away from windowsills and woodwork. To remove the artwork, or to fix a mistake, wipe with a moist paper towel.
