Making sun catchers is an easy project to do with kids of any age. The 18-month-old toddler, 4-year-old, and 7-year-old I babysit for all love making sun catchers for every holiday and season.
I find using self-adhesive laminating sheets easier than using contact paper. I recommend purchasing some self-adhesive laminating sheets by tapping the links previously posted or in the supplies list below. I also like using pre-cut paper tissue squares but colored cellophane sheets look wonderful for this project as well.
