One easy way to make handwriting practice fun is to make it big! Painting big letters with window paint on the windows is a great way to get kids excited about working on letter formation.

Paint Letters on a Window for FUN Handwriting Practice! Link to window paint recipe in the post.

The only thing I needed to prep for this activity was to mix up some window paint and put something down on the floor under the window.  This would be great to do outside on your windows or glass door too.

Here’s the recipe—> Easy Window Paint Recipe

Make handwriting practice FUN with window paint!

We used smaller brushes to make it easier to form the letters.  They chose some to write and then asked me for more ideas.

Handwriting Practice That Kids Want to Do!

Once the letters dry kids can practice tracing them with their fingers or go and find objects that start with each letter. There are lots of ways you can move and learn with handwriting!
