Integrating Seasons: Sun catchers


The mailbox had a great craft idea that I just had to share, making Sun Catchers:
Tape a piece of plastic wrap to a file folder or piece of cardboard. Brush glue on the plastic wrap; then place one-inch squares of tissue paper on the flue. Apply another thin coat of glue atop the tissue paper. When dry, cut out an animal shape, glue on wiggle eyes, and punch a hold through the top. Feed a piece of yarn through the hold and tie the ends together in a knot. Hang the completed crafts near a window.

Of course for any children under 4, there will be quite a bit you will have to help them do, but don't underestimate the young ones. They can do it!


While you are waiting for them to dry or a view of the sun, here are some books you can read together- for all ages.




Here are a few board books for the babies:



I hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
