Punch a hole in the top of the star and hang in the window for some instant color! It’s a busy time of year and you are looking for something quick and easy the children can put together during your Christmas theme. Even better if it’s no mess so they can take it home the next day. Well, we’ve got something for you: a colorful star suncatcher that looks gorgeous in the window. And we’ve made it even easier to put together by providing a free printable star template. Download it today and get busy making these with your toddlers and preschoolers!
Rainbow Suncatchers Heart Suncatchers Leaf Suncatchers Ladybug Suncatchers
Each one is easy and fun and creates a colorful window display. Since we prefer to decorate our classroom with items the children have made, we love including our windows. And sun catchers are a great art activity just for that! What you will need:
Assorted tissue paper squares Contact (sticky) paper Yellow construction paper Star printable template (scroll down to find the link to download)
After printing the star template, attach to the front of a sheet of yellow construction paper (I staple a couple of the corners), and then cut around black line, creating a star. (If doing multiple stars, trace around the printable that has already been cut out. You can see some of my pencil marks in the photo below.) Press it on one side of the paper so that the entire star is sticky on the opposite side. Place the star paper sticky side up on a flat surface and provide colored tissue paper squares. Invite your child to press the squares inside the star where it is sticky. Then trim around the star leaving a bit of a yellow edge. We added one of our stars above our gingerbread banner, too! 16 Christmas Science Activities 25+ Christmas Art Ideas Christmas Cooking Activities Click on the photo below to download the digital pdf: Here is my Privacy Policy
