Sun Prints

Today went swimmingly with all things proceeding as planned. We did a Nature walk to find Summer items, added a small vase of hydrangea blossoms to the Nature table, and the children set up their sun art pieces. Leah picked a large hydrangea blossom, Natalie chose a handful of small pebbles and some clover blossoms, and Rebecca went with a single large rock. We used regular construction paper but you can also buy special photosensitive paper. I had some when I was a kid. It makes beautiful crisp prints -- the construction paper ones are kind of blurry -- so if you're studying botany in depth (5th grade Waldorf) you should spring for the special paper. We're not that picky, obviously. :-)
