We made our own window clings today! One of the kids brought some little window clings for everyone in their Valentine's a couple weeks ago and they were a big hit, so I knew the kids would love making some of our own. We actually started the project yesterday and waited until today to cut them out and play with them. They turned out great and my favorite part is that they are completely edible, so even the littlest ones could come and check them out safely!
I found the instructions for this great project at The Science Kiddo. We only made half of the recipe listed there because that's all the gelatin I had, and I think we got plenty out of it. I made sure to pour them pretty thin though (1/8 - 1/4 inch) so they wouldn't be too heavy to stick, as she mentioned some people had trouble with that. We measured, poured, mixed, dropped colors into the gelatin mixture, and waited for it to set. Then today, we cut out lots of fun shapes and had a great time sticking them up on the big window! This was a fun sensory activity, science lesson, and provided lots of opportunity for new vocabulary and teamwork! We will definitely be trying this one again sometime!
