Speckled Sun Catchers

What You’ll Need:

• scissors
• ruler
• sandpaper
• crayons
• white paper
• old towel
• construction paper
• tape
• string

How to Make It:

1. Cut a 3-inch square from sandpaper.

2. Use crayons to draw a colorful design on the rough side of the sandpaper. Press hard and try to fill up as much space as you can with color.

3. Place a sheet of plain white paper on an old towel you’ve folded over several times. Put your sandpaper drawing facedown on the white paper.

4. Ask an adult to iron your drawing with a warm iron for about 10 seconds, until the crayon melts.

5. Carefully lift the sandpaper from the white paper to reveal the design.

6. Cut out the design. Make a frame from another piece of paper and tape the design to it. Hang your sun catcher in a window.
