Ocean Animal Suncatcher Craft

Pin me please! 🙂 |
Supplies:
Ocean Animals Pattern (Available for download at the bottom of this post)
Water color paints
Paint brush
Glue
Scissors
Dark blue or black paper
1. Have child paint their coffee filter and set it out to dry. The darker the paint the better because it does tend to lighten as it dries.
2. Print out the animal pattern on dark blue or black paper and have child cut them out.
I printed our pattern on black paper and I was able to see the lines well enough to cut the animals out for Little Dragon. Little Tiger said she couldn’t see them very well so I printed her pattern on dark blue paper.
3. Glue the animal to the coffee filter and the craft is done!

This is Little Dragon’s coffee filter that he crumpled up before it dried. He thought it was tons of fun squeezing it and watching water and paint drip out of it 🙂

Came over from Dabbling Momma's Share Day. These are beautiful – I especially like the whale with the sunset! My kids will love making them; glad I have coffee filters on hand.
