Right now, while the sunshine is at it’s peak, it’s the perfect time to make sunprints.

While sunprinting paper in itself is not exactly sustainable, you can make beautiful, frame ready art that you’ll love having around the house, and kids think sunprints are magical.You simply place an object on sunprint paper, expose it to the sunshine, and then give it a dip in water, and your custom print appears.

Visit Sunprint Kits to learn more and to purchase paper.

What is the exact chemical reaction that occurs with the uv light and paper? am using this for a summer camp and a lot of the kids ask how this works…I know the uv light reacts with the chemical on the paper, but what is it?
