Solar Photography Paper
SunPrint Paper Kit
Ages: 7 and up
When I worked with kids, one of the activities I liked to do in the summer was lay sheets of colored construction paper somewhere outside in the sun, and then have the kids find little things to put on top of the paper... a bottle cap maybe, a fork, a toy car, a flower. We would then go about our business for the day. At the end of the day we'd move all of the items off the paper, and find that the sun had "painted" a picture of the things we'd left there!
SunPrint paper is the same basic idea, but just way more vivid than plain construction paper. It is special paper that undergoes a chemical change in the sun. Looking online, I found some cool things people had done. If you have old photo negatives, you can lay them on the paper and see what happens. Or an X-ray. You could draw a picture on a clear plastic pane (like one of those overhead projector sheets) and then lay it on the paper. The ideas are endless. This can be for children or adults, because you can really work at your own level and do your own thing with this paper. That is why I wish I had some RIGHT NOW!
