Sunshine Sun-Catchers

Using the template here, we made some sunshines to hang in our windows.

The materials: contact paper, template pieces, tissue paper & scissors.

I had pre-cut the circles and triangles out of heavy black construction paper.

Ready to fill in!

While I set up the templates on contact paper, I had the girls cut up the yellow and orange paper…unfortunately, Anna’s safety scissors don’t seem to cut things that thin!

She gave it a good try, though.
Luckily, Carolyn's scissors worked!

Just like last year, Anna goes with the “drop a pile on the template” method…

Well, she started out with one piece at a time.
And then Anna did this!

…and Carolyn prefers the one-piece-at-a-time method.

Carefully placing each piece of paper.
Very neatly filling it in!

We’ll have sunshine every day, even if it’s cloudy!

Carolyn's sunshine.
Anna's sunshine.
