Just an hour in the sun at noon will fade construction paper to leave behind decorative "prints" and a lesson in just how powerful mother nature is.


Supplies

A Sunny Day
Construction Paper
(Darker Colors will Work the Best)
Objects from Nature or around the House
(Flatter items Work Best)

Instructions

Lay construction paper outside in the sun. Arrange items on the paper so their silhouettes will look nice. Wait about an hour and remove the items. You will see the paper has faded around the objects. Be sure not to be tempted to peek ahead of time, because it will be almost impossible to position the items exacly the way they were.
