Samuel and I are spending the day decorating all the windows and doors! It is a great activity to do with a 2-year old...and I'm sure the older the kiddos get that it gets even more entertaining!
This is a fairly cheap activity, and may require a run to your local Wal-Mart or Target or Dollar Tree. By my frugal standards, we went all out for window and door decoration day! We spent about $10! We got a great assortment of the gel window clings, the regular window clings, and these great new window stickers that are removable!
My pictures are certainly not the best, there is just something about taking pictures of windows that just never seems to work out for me! But we have spent the entire morning having a ton of fun! And it's the activity that just keeps on giving!
Samuel loves to pull off all the window clings and put them back on: over and over and over and over and over again! I'm actually now questioning the gel window clings...they may be more appropriate for a child who is a bit older. Samuel has already torn a couple of ours. So if you are the mother of a toddler, maybe stick to the clings at the Dollar Tree. It's only $1, so if they got lost or ruined, no big deal! Plus, you can wipe them down in warm water and they are like new! Also, let your child/children pick them out! I picked out a Christmas tree I liked, Samuel liked the Santa Clause and the ornaments!
We went all out and are decorating most of our windows. But if you are on a tight budget, one will do! It's something safe, fun, easy, and perfect for a toddler! Plus it makes things look festive! And the sky is the limit on this! This year we are doing just the simple clings, but next year I'm thinking of making snowflakes, decking them out with candles, and trimming the windows with bows! Be creative and make your windows shine!
Yeah our window clings melted in our hot sun last year not a problem this year though. I love the little clings that they sell and even some Walmart's have them. They are my favorite decoration for sure.
