Sunny medal

Sunny medal

These adorable medals are perfect for our yellow theme.

1. Gather your materials. You will need a small plastic lid, a sponge paintbrush, yellow and orange bread ties, scissors, ribbon, yellow paint, white glue and/or hot glue, wiggly eyes and red Fun Foam.

2. Paint the plastic lid using the yellow paint and let dry.

3. Cut the bread ties to give them a triangular shape as shown. Explore and count the triangles with your group.

4. Cut a smiling mouth shape out of the red Fun Foam.

5. Glue two wiggly eyes and the mouth on your medal/sun. Slide the bread ties around the contour of the lid to represent the sun's rays. You may ask children to reproduce a pattern: one yellow bread tie, one orange bread tie, one yellow bread tie, and so on.

6. Glue the ribbon to the back of you sun to complete your medal.
