Yesterday started our Christmas carol advent activities. We read from Luke 2:6-7 and then we practiced singing Away in a Manger.
Little J did this beautiful "stained glass" sun catcher of the nativity scene.
I found a silhouette and cut it out of black construction paper for him. He placed pieces of colored tissue paper on a sheet of contact paper until it was nearly covered. Then he placed the silhouette over the paper and I helped him seal it in with another piece of contact paper.
Juiciness and Sassyfras were busy setting up and playing with their nativity set (which plays Away in a Manger). Hopefully, they will work on their sun catcher later.
We trimmed the scene out and Little J hung it in his window.

This is really great! Have you thought about using different colored tissue paper in different areas (like panes of stained glass?) I love the way this glows!
