I've had this activity on our to-do list for a long time, and we finally got around to trying it. It was so much fun, and so easy. We made homemade window clings using colored glue! It takes a lot of drying time, and some patience, but not much else.
Mix food coloring into school glue. Outline your shape on a piece of transparency. Maybe making a triceratops and a stegosaurus weren't the best ideas. ;) Allow it to dry for a few hours, then fill it in completely with glue. Allow it to dry overnight. 
Peel your homemade window clings carefully from the transparency and stick it on the window! I think the glue I used was a little runny, so the outline isn't solid, but the kids enjoy playing with these. We will definitely do this craft again.

I've never done this before. What fun! So nice meeting you.
ReplyDeleteWe bought a little craft packet to make these. I never thought just to color glue. In the packet it had pictures that the kids traced with the glue. Maybe you could find a simple dinosaur coloring page to trace.
ReplyDeletethat's a good suggestion. They did suggest doing it over a coloring book, but we don't really have anything simple and I wanted to make sure it would work first.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! I have this idea I've been wanting to make into a window cling and this might be the way. Hmmm...
