I have come across numerous blog posts about creating a sticky wall with contact paper. Unfortunately, I hadn't stocked up on contact paper since Halloween, when the boys and I made some super cute window decorations and used up the remainder of my supply. However, just before Easter, I stocked up so that we could try it out.
I chose to create a sticky window instead of a sticky wall because I love the added element of natural light.
Materials
Contact paper
Tape
Items to stick on the contact paper. My original items were:
Pom poms
Pipe cleaners
Googly eyes
Popsicle sticks
Craft beads

I taped a large piece of contact paper to the large window in my living room and placed all of the items in a bucket.
The invitation to make some window art.
Since K was napping, J had this invitation all to himself. K did try it after his nap, but lost interest after about five seconds. J, on the other hand, had a lot of fun with this invitation. He was initially drawn to the popsicle sticks. Eventually, he made a popsicle stick person. J was so descriptive while making this character. It was great to see his imagination working away.
J's popsicle stick person.
The pipe cleaners were used to make a rainbow. Whenever J makes a rainbow, he always sings "The Colors of the Rainbow" song from Signing Time. This rainbow was no exception.

Adding green.
The finished rainbow (sans purple). We didn't have any purple pipe cleaners.
J eventually found other items in the living room to stick to the window.
Sentence Building Dominoes - J received these as an early Easter present from my parents. They are awesome.
