Leaf Suncatchers

Autumn Leaves

Decorate your classroom's windows with this Fall Sun Catcher by Jena.

Materials:
Contact paper,
tissue paper in fall colors,
permanent marker,
leaf shape patterns.

Description:
Cut a 5 x5 inch square of contact paper, put tape on the dull side and tape it to the table for each child.
Peel of the backing so that the sticky side is facing the child.
Have the children cut or tear small pieces of tissue paper and completely cover the piece of contact paper.
Cover the first 5 x5 piece with another piece so that the tissue is now between the two pieces of contact paper.
Trace a leaf shape onto the contact paper and cut out the leaf shape.
Use a couple of pieces of clear tape to adhere the leaves to a window where the sun will shine through them.

Comments: You can sprinkle the tissue with water to make the colors bleed into each other. Let it dry before putting on the second piece of contact paper.
