The other day was Earth Day, after we had our snacks and finished our school homework we created some pretty sun catchers by using a muffin tin and pony beads. I had asked the girls to use greens and blues since those are the colors of the Earth.
After they arranged the beads just as they liked I placed the muffin tin in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. I then pulled them out, let them cool for a bit and then popped them out of the muffin tin so that the kids could enjoy their creations.
Here is one that my daughter made. So very pretty! Last summer we made up a bunch of these, drilled tiny holes in the top and created hanging sun catchers. This is a very fun craft, a little stinky since you are melting plastic so you will need a fan or some windows open, but other than that the kids really enjoyed it.
