Originally I created these "Sunbeam" props out of paper plates. I painted them yellow, stapled on some triangle beams, and tried to reinforce them as best I could. However, they took forever to make and still couldn't stand up to the antics of my nursery kids. We use them either as crowns or "masks" and then jump as we sing.
So over Conference weekend I realized just how hard it was going to be to reinforce them AND I needed to make 10 more for all of the new kiddos entering our classes. Way too much work.
I was really happy when I found these on the internet:
They are 15"x15" two-sided suns created for educators to use on bulletin boards. And they are cute as a button! So I cut out the middle of the sun, had them laminated, and they are perfect. Big, whimsical, and sturdy (at least for now)! I managed to find them for like $1.70 each over the internet, so don't pay more than that - most websites charged double for each one. Luckily, we had some funds in our Primary budget to invest. So, so cute.
