Craft Supplies:

  • Acorn Printable – on our landing page
  • Light Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Clear Contact Paper
  • Scissors
  • Light Tan Tissue Paper
  • optional – adhesive, plastic wiggle eyes and a marker

Directions:

  • First download and print the FREE acorn shape printable listed above. You will want to print it out on a single sheet of LIGHT BROWN cardstock paper.
  • Next up – use scissors to trim out the outline of the acorn, as well as the center of it.
  • Now grab your contact paper and cut two pieces the same length.
  • Take off the protective paper off one and lay it on a flat surface. You want the sticky side facing you.
  • Lay your paper cutout on top of the contact paper, face down so it sticks.
  • If desired, sprinkle a small amount of loose craft glitter in the inside the shape.
  • Now grab your light brown tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
  • Have your child place it on the contact paper, inside the design, to make a beautiful mosaic piece.
  • Once done, grab the other piece of contact paper and remove it’s protective sheet.
  • Then lay it on top of the other piece and press firmly, making sure every corner is stuck together.
  • To finish off the Acorn Sun Catcher craft, use your scissors to trim out the design.
  • Add the wiggle eyes and use the marker to decorate the piece to look like it’s smiling.
  • Then use some tape to display it proudly on a window, so the sunlight can shine brightly through them!

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!
