I have expressed my love for window markers
before, but I will say it again. I love window markers! The possibilities are endless in terms of the activities we can do. Our most recent activity was a connect the dots activity, inspired by J putting number stickers on the window.
Materials
- Dot stickers
- Permanent marker
- Window markers
Label the dot stickers with numbers (or letters) using the permanent marker. I then drew a shape, in this case a star, on a window using a window marker. Next, I placed the numbered dot stickers along the drawing in numerical order. I then erased the marker lines, leaving a nice connect the dot picture.

The Invitation to Play
I set up this activity for J, while K was napping. J has enjoyed doing connect the dot activities in the past, so I figured that he would love this version. And he did! He just chose to do crazy squiggly lines instead of somewhat straight lines, so it didn't look like much once he was done. Regardless, he practiced counting from 1-25.

J loves to use spray bottles for cleaning, so, as usual, the clean up was just as much fun.
