Sun Catcher

Before the Meeting: 

1. Have Cub Scouts find a simple silhouette of a holiday symbol and bring it to the meeting. 

During the Meeting:  

1. Have Cub Scouts trace their holiday symbol onto black paper. 
2. About 1” in from the first line, Cub Scouts should draw a second silhouette of their symbol. 
3. Cut out both silhouettes to create a black border of their symbol. 
4. Leaders cut a piece of contact paper a little bit bigger than the Cub Scout’s symbol border and carefully peel away the protective layer, to reveal the sticky side of the contact paper. 
5. Cub Scouts place the black symbol border onto the sticky side of the contact paper. Note Cub Scouts get one chance to do this, otherwise they would have to start over. 
6. Once Cub Scouts are happy with their border, they can start placing tissue paper pieces in whatever color pattern they desire onto the sticky part inside their black border. 
7. After all the sticky has been covered, Cub Scouts can cut away the left-over contact paper from the outside of the symbol.  
8. The symbol can be hung up on a window using tape or adding a piece of string at the top.
