Making decorative window art is fun and beautiful. These laminated translucent pumpkins can be reused each year. This is a great project for kids four years and up. If you aren’t doing this project in the fall, you can print out a simple image of a tree or flower. I find that pencil drawings or silhouettes work best for this project.

We used kite paper from A Child’s Dream, but you could use tissue paper, or alcohol inks on transparency paper.

Materials: Template (hand drawn or printed out), tissue paper or kite paper, Con-Tact paper, laminating sheets (and laminator), scissors and tape.

Duration: 30 minutes

Grade Level: preschool and up

Cost: $1 or less per project, but with initial start up fee (laminator, sheets, etc.)
