Hello sunshine! Now that the colourful Autumn leaves are falling, it’s the perfect time to encourage the children to make their own beautiful suncatchers using the leaves they find – ideal for those sunny autumn days and a great way to welcome the season.
Materials you will need:
- Paper plate
- Crayons
- Paints
- Clear sticky-backed plastic
- Leaves
- Wool
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Decorate the rim of a paper plate with paints or crayons. (Different coloured fingerprints would also look good).
- Then, using a pair of scissors, pierce a hole in the centre of the paper plate and cut away the whole base so just the rim remains.
- Replace the missing base of the plate with sticky-backed plastic. Do this by cutting a circle of plastic slightly larger than the hole, and make small cuts around the edge to prevent puckering when you stick it down.
- Cover the sticky base with leaves of different shapes and colours. Then cut another circle of sticky-backed plastic and place over the top of the leaves.
- To hang the plate from a window latch, punch a hole in the rim and thread with wool.
