What if the project gets messy?

It’s okay! Messes happen, and they can be easily cleaned up with a damp cloth. Just keep a towel handy.

Is this project safe for younger kids?

Yes, but it’s always a good idea to supervise younger children, especially when using scissors or if there are any questions about safety.

While any clear glue will work, sticking to school glue ensures a good consistency and safety for children.

Let your suncatchers dry for at least four hours, but overnight is best for optimal firmness.

Absolutely! Store them flat in a box to keep their shape intact for next use.

Start by laying out your baking or wax paper flat on your workspace.
Pour clear liquid school glue into a mixing container. Add food coloring for vibrant hues.
Use a paintbrush or sponge to apply the glue in swirled patterns on the paper.
Experiment with mixing various colors by adding more food coloring to different areas.
Allow your suncatchers to dry completely—this might take up to four hours.
Once dried, carefully peel the suncatchers off the paper.
Cut them into intricate shapes if desired.
Hang them in a sunny window and enjoy the colorful display!

This activity helps develop fine motor skills and understanding of color theory and can be stored for future use.
