Supplies Needed for Rainbow Sun Craft
How to Make Paper Sun
The first thing to do is pick out three different kids of colored paper. We used yellow, blue, green and red, but feel free to use whatever colors your child would like. Let them be creative and make their sun completely unique!
Cut four paper strips of each color to make the sun’s rays. They should be 3 inches in length and about 1” wide.
Next, cut a big yellow circle that will be the sun’s face.
Glue the strips in groups of two for each color. Glue one end of the paper to the back of the sun, loop over in half and glue down the other end to create a loop.
Print out the eyes and mouth, cut and glue them to the yellow circle or create your own face by drawing it or using colored paper.
