Apple Sun Catcher Craft for Kids
Around here, we love making glue
sun catchers. They are made from simple ingredients that you already
probably have around the house. Also there is something therapeutic
and soothing about moving the colors around the glue with your
toothpick. I decided that it would make a cute craft and an easy
seasonal decoration to use some apple themed colors in the sun catcher
and then decorate it afterwards to make it into an apple.
(Obviously, you do not have to make yours into an apple. To make a
plain non apple sun catcher just choose any colors you wish, and skip
the pipe cleaner leaves. However, I think that the apples are
seasonal and fun!)
You Will Need:
- nontoxic liquid glue (like Elmer's or equivalent generic)
- food coloring (green, red, and yellow are all great colors for the apple theme)
- toothpicks (I provided 3, one for each color, so she could choose whether she wanted to mix the colors or keep them separate)
- clean plastic lids (the ones from the giant yogurt containers work great!)
- small bits of yarn for hanging (brown is great to make it look like a stem)
- green pipe cleaners for forming into leaves
- hole punch
Making the Apple Sun Catcher Craft
To set up, you will need to pour a good
amount of glue into the plastic lid. Your preschooler can do this
part too, if they have the patience. As soon as the entire lid is
covered in glue, place a few drops of each color of food coloring
into the glue.
Invite your child to swirl the color
around the glue with their toothpick. The more you swirl the colors
the more integrated and solid your final sun catcher will look. You
can make them multiple times with different color combinations to
create different effects (or varieties of apples).
When your artist is satisfied with the
finished product, set it aside to dry. This can be a rather long
process depending on your weather conditions. The last time we did
this craft, it was really humid and it took a week for the
sun catchers to dry!
When it finally is dry, you will know
because the glue will turn from white and opaque to clear and
transparent. To remove your sun catcher from it's mold, wiggle the
lid around the edges back and forth to help separate the dried glue
from the lid. Then slowly and carefully peel the sun catcher from the
mold.
Now, you can decorate it into an apple.
Punch a hole in the top with the hole punch. Next tie it to some
yarn and shape and attach the pipe cleaner leaves. Hang it in a
sunny window and enjoy!
Also, be sure to check out the
Interactive Apple Book on my Teachers Pay Teachers Store! Learn
about the parts of an apple, the life cycle of the apple, the
seasonal cycle of the apple tree, and more!
