With Christmas just a few weeks away, Charlie Brown always comes to mind in the timeless classic A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Families everywhere gather to watch this movie based on the Peanuts comic strip, which has such a great message about the true meaning of Christmas. It’s family-favorite for sure!
We’ve been watching Charlie Brown and the gang throughout the holiday season and were inspired to make this easy Charlie Brown Suncatcher Ornament for Christmas.
It is a quick and easy way for kids to practice fine-mother skills and color identification (focusing on one color at a time here).
Charlie Brown Suncatcher Tissue Ornaments
Materials:
- black construction paper
- scissors
- contact paper
- yellow tissue paper
Cut out a circle and zigzag shape from black construction paper to be used as your sun catcher template.
Cut up tiny squares of yellow tissue paper – your child can help you here if practicing scissor skills – just be sure to supervise.
Lay your template on the sticky side of contact paper and have your child pick up the tissue squares and attach to the paper.
Help your child stick another piece of contact paper on the completed projected and cut the edges to complete.
So easy and a fun way to add a Charlie Brown personal touch to your Christmas decorations!
