Crafting a Paper Sun
Crafting a big and bright paper sun is an exciting and engaging art project for young students.
It provides fun, as well as an opportunity for little ones to show off their art skills. It’s really one of my favorite summer activities because there are so many things we can talk about while we make it! You could even add books about about the sun or the solar system to your summer reading list and then make this craft in conjunction with it!
Kids will be able to build a sun paper craft by using only a few materials, most of which you probably already have on hand.
Look below to find the complete materials list and the instructions on how to make a shining paper sun project.

Instructions to Make a Paper Sun:
- Print out the sun paper craft template. You can print as many as you like.
- With the crayons or markers, have children color in all of the different parts of the sun. You can also use the pre-colored version is coloring is not their jam.
- Next, cut out all of the sun parts by cutting along the dotted lines with the scissors. *Note: younger kids might need help cutting, while older children might just need some supervision.
