Suncatcher Art Project for Kids

I have done this art lesson several times with my kids...is it even a lesson when it is so fun!? This lesson teaches kids patterns, what translucent means and how to create a drawing with something small like pixels, paint dots...or in this case beads! 

We love hanging these sun-catchers in our window all year!

Ready to Create Your Sun-catcher?
You need these supplies...

​To make it convenient for you to get supplies, I have provide (affiliated) links to the supplies. 

Pony Beads- Translucent
Pie Pans for kids ages 9+ (round, square, aluminum or tin)
Cookie Sheet- too place pie pan on so the beads don't move
Muffin Tins for kids 2-8 years old
string- I used whatever I had around the house
toothpicks- I am always out of these!  I used a large sewing needle or just drill a hole with a small drill bit.
Oven
Oven Mitt
​
You can pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and the cook time is 25-30 minutes. It stinks when it cooks so open the windows and get out of the house if you need to...Stinky!

Watch the Video!

I hope you enjoyed this lesson for your kids!
