Who this list is for
This paper plate sun catcher craft supply list is for preschool or elementary children making window decorations with adult help. It uses clear contact paper and tissue paper squares instead of glass or cut plastic.
How to use this list
Cover worktables first, then use white paper plates, pencils, and child-safe scissors to prepare the plate frames. Adults can help manage the clear contact paper. Children arrange tissue paper squares on the sticky surface, add washable marker details to the paper plate border, and use washable glue sticks where needed. Finish with a hole punch and yarn for hanging.
Common mistakes
Do not give children large loose pieces of contact paper without a plan; it can fold onto itself and trap tissue paper in the wrong spot. Cut manageable pieces and remove backing a little at a time. Avoid using regular tape on windows. The list includes window-safe removable tape for hanging the finished sun catchers.
What is on this list
The supplies include 30 white paper plates, two rolls of clear contact paper, 500 tissue paper squares, 30 washable glue sticks, and 20 pairs of child-safe scissors. You will also need three hole punches, two rolls of yarn, washable markers, pencils, table covers, paper towels, and one roll of window-safe removable tape. Cross off items already available.
When you are done
Check that each sun catcher has a secure yarn loop or removable tape placement before moving it to a window. Wipe tables with paper towels, collect tissue paper scraps, and keep unused contact paper rolled tightly for a future class craft.
