For my daughter’s seventh birthday, she received several great craft kits and other goodies. One kit that we have been playing with nearly daily is her Rose Art Window Art kit. It’s a very simple concept: you just take the small plastic square included in the kit, place it over the large stencils, and trace them with the included puffy paint. Allow the paint to dry, gently pull off your creations from the plastic, and voila—you have instant window clings in addition to a reusable canvass!
We did have some troubles with our very first batch. My daughter had me do an outline with black paint and we let it dry before filling it in, but once she did she used way too much paint. She filled it in, then created fun swirls that looked almost tie-dye. However, they were so thick and layered that they did not dry correctly and instead muddied into one another until there was nothing but black in the lizard she painted. So we learned quickly that you only want to use a single layer of paint if you can.
