Fork Painted Sunshine Craft For Kids

Bring some sunshine indoors with this fun and easy craft idea! Make your own fork-painted sun beams and brighten up your day.

Craft Supplies:

  • Plastic Fork
  • Yellow Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Large Yellow Cupcake Liner
  • Glue Stick
  • Dark Blue Cardstock Paper
  • Choice of Color Cardstock Paper
  • SUNGLASS Printable – on our landing page
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

  • First things first – print out the blank SUNGLASSES printable, listed above, on your choice of colored cardstock paper. One print gives you TWO cutouts to use.
  • Using your scissors, cut out one of the sunglass shapes from the printable. Set it aside.
  • Next up – grab your yellow cupcake liner, the glue stick and a sheet of dark blue cardstock paper.
  • Flatten out the cupcake liner with your hands and glue it down in the center of the blue paper.
  • Next squirt some yellow craft paint on the small paper plate.
  • Go ahead and dip the plastic fork in the paint.
  • Now take the paint covered fork and use it as a paint brush to “paint” rays coming out of the yellow cupcake liner.
  • When done adding the yellow fork prints, shake some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint for some dimension and extra sparkle.
  • Finally – the last step of this fork painted sun craft is to glue the sunglasses you cut out earlier, in place, as well as drawing on a simple smile underneath.
  • At this point in time you can add other embellishments you see fit.
  • When done decorating the paper, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
