Here comes the sun! It may not last long but our suncatcher template will help chase those last gray days away with four different cutouts that are perfect for the Easter holiday.

Bunnies, flowers, Easter eggs and chicks will brighten up any room as long as there’s some sunshine. Card stock, colored tissue paper and transparency cutouts make it a fun, inexpensive craft that’s easy for the kids to do.

Cut out lots of brightly-colored tissue triangles in different sizes and have the kids overlap them onto the template to create a colorful suncatcher.
