To complete this craft, grab the free SUNGLASSES template file and print it onto a sturdy sheet of white paper or cardstock. Have kids color in the outline/rim of their sunglass design.

Next, instruct kids to tear their yellow construction paper into small pieces. This step is a lot of fun for little ones and provides excellent fine motor practice.

Squeeze a thin layer of school glue directly inside the sunglass design on your printed page.

Ask the kids to stick their torn paper pieces onto the wet glue. Keep adding pieces until the entire frame is completely filled and textured.

Once the yellow paper is secure, draw squiggly lines of silver glitter glue across the lenses to mimic the glare of the sun. Next, decorate the white space around the sunglasses. We used star stickers but you can change up. Then once you are done decorating, allow it to dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!

A handmade card features large, colorful sunglasses with yellow lenses decorated with silver glitter. The text reads MY SUMMER LOOKS BRIGHT! Yellow star stickers and craft supplies surround the card.

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.
