Looking for a gift that’s both fun and educational? The Sunprint Kit is a creative STEM gift for girls who love nature, art, and hands-on activities. It offers a simple way to turn sunlight, water, and imagination into beautiful, long-lasting prints.
Originally developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, this activity introduces kids to basic photographic principles. It also encourages outdoor exploration and close observation of the natural world. With just a few steps, girls can create their own artwork using leaves, flowers, or any object they find.
To get started, place an object on the special Sunprint paper. Next, set it in the sun for a few minutes. Then, rinse the paper in water and watch a beautiful image appear. The included acrylic sheet helps flatten objects, making sure your prints come out clear and detailed.
This kit is ideal for sunny days in the backyard, quiet afternoons at the park, or as a science activity during homeschool. It’s screen-free, easy to use, and designed to spark curiosity. Plus, it’s small enough to take along on family trips or hikes.
What’s Inside the Sunprint Kit:
12 sheets of 4” x 4” light-sensitive Sunprint paper
1 acrylic sheet to flatten objects
Full instruction sheet for easy use
No batteries or screens required — just sunshine!
In short, this is a gift that blends science, creativity, and joy. Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, holiday, or educational treat, the Sunprint Kit is a mom-approved favorite that inspires learning through play.
