Description

Create colorful and interactive viewers to enhance your outdoor adventures and observation skills.


Ingredients

  • Colored cellophane sheets (various colors)
  • Transparent plastic cups or paper plates
  • Scissors
  • Tape or glue
  • A ruler
  • A pencil

Instructions

  1. Select your base: Choose either a transparent plastic cup or a paper plate as the framework for your color viewer.
  2. Cut the opening: If using a cup, cut a hole in the bottom large enough to place your eye against it. For a plate, cut a smaller circular hole in the center.
  3. Choose colors: Pick your favorite colors from the cellophane sheets.
  4. Cut the cellophane: Cut the sheets into squares larger than the holes you made.
  5. Secure the cellophane: Place the colored cellophane over the hole you’ve cut out.
  6. Stick it down: Use tape or glue to secure the corners of the cellophane to the base, ensuring it’s tight and taut.
  7. Take it outside: Head outdoors, holding the viewer up to your eye.
  8. Observe: Look through the colored cellophane and notice how it transforms the colors of the world around you.

Notes

Consider making a contest for the most creative viewer or using this craft as a tool for art sessions focusing on color theory.
