The Summer Fun Continues!

Are you ready for more Summer fun from the homestead?

On this day we decided to make Sun Prints. So simple to do but the kids had fun doing it and they were surprised at the outcome. (Let it be a secret, what happens!)

The fun part was going around the house picking and choosing what to put on your paper.

If you’ve never done this before, all you do is simply grab a sheet of construction paper (the darker the color the better we found out) lay small objects on it and place it in direct sun for about an hour.

Here we have mine on the purple paper. I chose a “kitchen theme” if you couldn’t already tell. My little man’s is on the dark blue. He chose a  “toy theme”. And my hubby’s is the light blue and he whipped out his tools.

Then over here we have my daughters on the pink paper. She went with the kitchen theme as well. My middle man used the dark blue paper and made a man out of his blocks.

Here they are on our Summer Fun wall. (More on that later)

Can you see the imprints? It was a pretty cool activity.

Stay tuned for more homestead Summer Fun!

HUGS!

  2. Now if only we had sun so that I could do that. Ugh. It is cold here today. I may need a coat. We really haven't had summer hit yet. A few hot days here and there. So ready. Love this idea. Very creative.
    Hugs,
