I read about sun prints in a post by Jeanette at Artchoo I think, I honestly can’t remember where I saw the idea, but I am sure it is not my own! Anyway, go see Artchoo, it is chock full of kids art projects and ideas!
We used construction paper and random objects and put them in full sun for the afternoon.
After a few hours (about 5), the magic was revealed! I think there is more we can do with these ‘prints’. Watch this space (mainly because I haven’t done anything with them yet!).
I made a heart with buttons which moved slightly during the process and gave a double exposure effect. I love the scissors, the blue paper was very successful.
Construction paper fades out so quickly I am sure this would work well in less sun and less time.
I see more sun print experiments in our summer break. What are you up to? Making lots of art and having a great time I hope!

HA! You didn’t read it on Artchoo, but I think I shared it on my Facebook page….? Anyway, it’s such a cool project. Too bad we can’t do it today; it’s pouring here. Thanks for the mention, anyway, and your prints turned out great!
Any excuse to mention Artchoo!! I think I did see it on FB. I was very impressed with the fading power of construction paper.

Yes, I had to see how you did this.
These are SO cool! We are SO making some of these. Hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow!
I highly recommend this project, it is a bit addictive too, you keep thinking of other things which will ‘print’ well! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
