About This Project

A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 3–5, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, White Glue, and Construction Paper.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Step 1: Draw triangles

    Use your ruler to draw triangles on your yellow paper. You can fold the paper like an accordion to help guide you.

    Step 2: Cut out triangles

    Carefully cut out the triangles with your scissors.

    Step 3: Draw and cut out a circle

    Draw a circle on thick paper and cut it out. You can use a cup to help you trace the circle.

    Step 4: Glue triangles to circle

    Glue the base of the triangles to the circle. Now you have a sun!
