Sun Prints


Place objects on construction paper and leave them in the sun to make a sun print. We had so much fun finding objects and letters to make these. We didn't leave them out in the sun long enough though. Make sure to leave yours out most of the day!


I told B that we were going to do an experiment to see what happens when we leave them out in the sun and he was worried all day that the objects would melt, blow away, or disappear. This is a neat way to work with letters, shapes, colors, or just to play around and experiment!

  1. I also heard this works sunscreen. paint to areas that you don't want to change.

  2. Simple, but fun. I like it! :) My daughter did something with sunscreen recently, but I like the letter ideas and predicting what will happen.
