•How to Make Sun Prints•
Have you ever made sun prints before?! They are so much fun to make and they look sooo pretty when finished😍
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Step 1:
Arrange your nature finds on a piece of sun print paper out of the reach of the sun.

Step 2:
Place the acrylic pressing sheet on top to flatten and hold your items to the sun print paper.
Step 3:
Take your sun print outside and lay it in direct sunlight for 2-5 minutes.

Step 4:
Rinse your sun print in water. Watch the white turn into blue and the blue turn into white.

Step 5:
Lay your sun print flat on an absorbent surface and allow it to dry.

•Sticky Scavenger Hunt•
You just need contact paper, cardboard and something to search for! I decided to search for spring flowers in our yard. It’s the perfect way to learn the plants in our area!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I used the “Picture This” plant identifier app to make sure we weren’t handling toxic plants 🌿
