Rainbow Suncatcher

A colorful craft that will get you outside and keep the kids busy! Follow these simple steps to make your very own Rainbow Suncatcher.

Supplies:

• Colorful cellophane paper
• A big flat piece of cardboard
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Hot glue gun

STEP 1:

First draw your rainbow. Make each arc blocky and leave some space between each – about ½ an inch to an inch.

Then grab your exacto knife and carefully cut the arcs out.

STEP 2:

Cut your cellophane paper to fit along each of the arcs. Use a rainbow of colors as this is in fact a rainbow suncatcher!

Next, use your hot glue gun to glue the colorful cellophane paper to the cardboard. A good job for littles is to help you line up the colors in the order you’d like them to appear.

STEP 3:

Go play! Take your rainbow suncatcher out into the light and see how cool it looks casting colorful rainbows as many places as you can.

Things to Consider:

• • What is a rainbow?
  • What does this rainbow look like on different textures like grass or cement?
  • How does the rainbow change in different lights?
  • Can you take fun photos of your shadow with this rainbow suncatcher?
  • Can you make up new games with your rainbow suncatcher? One suggestion is to try playing a variation of hide and go seek where one person casts the rainbow somewhere in a location and the others have to find it.
