How To Make a Contact Paper Sticky Window

1. Cut up tissue paper. Use any colors you want, and make the pieces about 1-2 inches big so little hands can grab them easily.

2. Peel and tape. Pull the backing off the contact paper and tape it sticky-side-out to your window or a wall at kid-level.

3. Show them how. Give your child some pieces and show them how to stick the tissue paper onto the window. They will likely start trying it out right away.
4. Explore. Little hands love to push, pull, and create their own “art.” The sticky feel is a cool sensory experience, so stick and unstick as much as they want.

Benefits Of This Kids Window Art Activity

• Good for fine motor skills - Picking up tissue paper and sticking it boosts finger strength.
• Safe sensory play - The sticky contact paper is a neat texture that’s totally safe for even toddlers.
• Open-ended art - There’s no one way to make this, so kids can get creative.

Tips for Contact Paper Window Art

Tip 1: Cut the tissue paper ahead of time so you can set everything up super fast.

Tip 2: Stick to biggish pieces if your kid still puts things in their mouth.

Tip 3: If the contact paper gets bunched up, just gently pull it apart. It happens to me every time.
