Wugs loves flowers. I remember a time when he couldn't say "flower" and called it "fowwee". Everytime we walked up the hill from the shops, he would insist on picking a little orange flower from a hedge that hung over the pavement from the condo next door. Today we picked leaves and flowers all the way home and made this beautiful, flower suncatcher. The inspiration for this craft came from this site.What we used:
Paper plate
Contact paper
Scissors
Flowers and leaves
I cut out a circle in the centre of the paper plate and lay the contact paper (sticky side up) on the bottom of the circle, fixing the paper to the edge of the plate. Then I placed the flowers in a separate dish for Wugs to decorate. Once he was finished, I "sealed" the suncatcher flowers by placing contact paper on top (sticky side down) and fixed it around the edge. (It's not necessary to seal the suncatcher in this way, but as I have a younger toddler who eats everything, I thought it better to seal the flowers inside). Then I let the suncatcher do precisely that ... soak up the sun on our balcony doors.
