What will your summer fun sun look like?
This Fun Sun is made of shapes and materials from Kaleidoscope’s studio, but you can create your sun with whatever materials you have.
- Start with a circle. A paper plate works well, or use a lid to trace a circle on paper or cardboard.
- Draw or attach fun shapes around the circle.
- Add sun flairs with tissue paper, fabric, or ribbon.
Remember…
- Everyone’s art will look different!
- Feel free to explore!
- Create any way you choose!
Have Fun!
