2. Paper Plate “Happy Sun” Suncatchers

Brighten up the daycare windows with these glowing suns. This craft helps kids practice their “pincer grasp” by picking up small pieces of tissue paper.

  • Materials: Paper plates (center cut out), clear contact paper, yellow tissue paper squares.
  • Steps:
    • Tape a piece of contact paper over the hole in the plate (sticky side out).
    • Let the children press yellow and orange tissue paper onto the sticky center.
    • Tape them to the window and watch the room turn golden.
