The sun is fascinating on its own, but it can also be an incredible tool for budding artists. By using the tried-and-true method of sun printing, you and your child will create silhouette style prints using sunlight and everyday objects! This fun hands-on activity provides an intriguing balance of science and art in a super fun way; it teaches your child how the sun's light affects the objects around her, and it also serves as an introduction to image transfer techniques and the photographic process.
