Materials Needed:
- Tuff Tray
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Clear tape
- Natural items like leaves and flowers
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Prepare Your Tuff Tray: Start by clearing your Tuff Tray or setting it up in a comfortable spot where kids can access it easily. Make sure it’s clean and dry before beginning your project.
-
Create Your Heart Shape: Take a piece of cardboard and cut out a heart shape. The size can vary, but make sure it fits within the boundaries of your Tuff Tray.
-
Set Up the Suncatcher Frame: Use clear tape to attach the cardboard heart to the back of the Tuff Tray, ensuring the heart is centered and secure. The tape will also act as a sticky base for attaching the natural items.
-
Go on a Nature Hunt: This is the fun part! Take your kids outside to gather leaves, flowers, small twigs, and any other natural materials they find interesting. Encourage them to look for a variety of colors and shapes to make their suncatcher vibrant and textured.
-
Assemble the Suncatcher: Once you have collected enough materials, return to your Tuff Tray. Have your children stick their findings onto the taped heart, covering as much of the cardboard as possible. They can create patterns or simply enjoy the process of sticking random assortments of nature’s treasures onto the heart.
-
Display Your Suncatcher: When your heart is full and the tape is covered, find a sunny spot to place your Tuff Tray. The light shining through the leaves and flowers will create beautiful, natural art. It's a wonderful opportunity to discuss with kids how light interacts with different materials and the importance of nature in our lives.
Creating a DIY Nature Suncatcher with Tuff Trays not only provides a hands-on learning experience but also helps children appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It’s a memorable activity that combines art, science, and environmental education.
