How to play
Before you start: Tape a sheet of sticky-backed plastic to a window at child height, sticky side out. A loop of parcel tape works too.
Tear colored paper into pieces together — the tearing is good for their hands.
Press the pieces onto the sticky sheet.
Stand back and look at it with the light behind it.
Fill the gaps with pom poms and ribbon.
Leave it up. It looks best in the morning sun.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Work at a window the child can reach standing on the floor, never on furniture.
Make it different next time
- Stick real leaves and petals for a stained-glass effect.
- Cut the sheet into a heart or star shape first.
Cleanup: Peel the whole sheet off in one piece when you are done with it.
