Yesterday was just one of those days the kids were up at 5, yes 5am! so I woke up in a grump, by about 7 they realised it wasn’t the bet idea they’ve ever had and were knackered (very grumpy household). After and hour or two of them whining and fighting over just about everything and anything they could, I needed to think of something quick and easy to entertain them while I sorted Lottie out. Preferably something that didn’t involve too much mess Arts and crafts can often bring me out in a cold sweat but I’d seen this on pinterest and thought we could give it a whirl.
Tissue paper stained glass window
All you need is;
Tissue paper cut or ripped up into small pieces
Pot of water
Paint brush
And that is it (oh and a window). The girls really enjoyed it kept them busy and stopped the bickering yay! its something so simple that takes minuets to set up and other than a bit of water here and there makes no mess as it all just wipes off the window easily. if like me the thought of letting children paint in the house brings you out in a cold sweat this is great.
Maisy’s Window
It looked so pretty I didn’t want to take it off!
What are your quick go to activities for the kids?
Great idea! Looks like so much fun.
Thanks it was an best bit nearly no mess atall 🙂
I remember doing this when I was at school!
Thanks for linking up with the Parenting Pin it Party this week x x
This looks fantastic for a wide range of ages (even I would like to have a go)! So pretty!
Thanks for sharing at the Mumsnet linky.
I’ve got loads of scraps of tissue paper left over from other projects. Now I know how I’m going to kill a few minutes this weekend… thank you #KidsCorner

That’s a brilliant idea – so simple and such a good way of keeping children occupied. Definitely going to give this a try at some point 🙂
