Make your own homemade window paint and take it outside! This is a simple recipe I first saw here that the will kids will love to make and make again. Paint and wash, paint and wash.

Make your own homemade window paint and take it outside! The will kids will love to make this recipe again and again. Paint and wash, paint and wash. Outdoor art is a great boredom buster and a great excuse to wash the windows!

Homemade Window Paint

What You Need:
  • Cornstarch
  • Water
  • Dish Soap
  • Liquid Watercolors (or food coloring)

What to do:

  1. Mix one part cornstarch to one part water
  2. Add a squirt of dish soap
  3. Color with liquid watercolors!

Pretty easy right?! I like the consistency to be slightly thick so if you feel that you need to add more cornstarch/less water go for it. As a side note, we made liquid watercolors by soaking dried up markers in water overnight. You would be amazed at how much color is actually left in those things! I have saved the watercolors in old smoothie containers and love using it as a great alternative to food coloring because they are washable.

I decided to give the kids the option to paint on either a mirror or the glass door. If you haven’t yet tried mirror painting with your kids, do it! It is a great experience for them. The paint looks so neat on the mirror and they can actually watch themselves paint which is always fun. The glass also makes for a nice easel outdoors. The paint looks beautiful with the sunlight shining through.

I know this looks incredibly messy but trust me clean-up is a breeze! And as an added bonus..this kids can clean this up all by themselves…my kind of project. They used a watering can to wash off the paint (thanks to the dish soap it comes off quite easily)…and then a squeegee to dry it off!
