Sun Painting!

Your child can do some art without using any dyes or paints. Early in the morning on a sunny day, have her arrange opaque objects, on a sheet of colored construction paper. Late in the afternoon, remove the objects to reveal a print.

The sun will have faded the exposed construction paper, but the paper that was beneath the objects will still be its original color – showing the shapes of the objects that were used for the artwork.

I thought this sounded really fun for kids, we are going to try it............Today!
