This squirrel sun catcher craft is perfect to introduce some fun and bright decor into your classroom! We love to do a unit on squirrels so these squirrel sun catchers make the perfect craft. Once they are finished, we pop them up on display on our classroom windows.. And they make such a difference in the room! We make different sun catchers all year long now and keep them up on the windows because of how much we love the way they look in our room!
Anyway, staying on topic.. In this blog post today I’m going to be sharing the materials and instructions you need to re-create these sun catcher crafts with your students.. Or your children at home.
