SUN CATCHER 


Picture
Suitable for 3 - 6 year olds

A great beginners/kids project as no tools are required.

I used glass nuggets purchased from a garden centre.  These can also be found at $2 Shops.

Materials

Plastic Lids – the ones from hummus are good

Glass nuggets, beads, glass tiles, beach glass

Small paint brush or ice block sticks for spreading the glue

Exterior PVA - if you are going to hang the sun catcher inside then interior PVA is good


Picture
Instructions



Spread PVA onto the plastic lid – use just enough to ensure the beads or glass tiles stick.  If you use too much the glue will take days to dry.

Place the glass nuggets into the glue - I have only used one colour but let the kids choose as many colours as they wish.  For Littlies sorting the colours into groups before you begin is a great fine motor skill activity.

Leave to dry for a couple of days


Picture




Once dry gently peel the piece off from the plastic lid

There will be some natural spaces that are ideal for creating a hole so you can thread some fishing line through to hang.


Picture
Hang in a window to let the light shine through or hang outside and let it dance in the wind.

Beautiful
