Sunshine and rainbows! What could make your little one happier?

This SunGemmers craft kit will bring the sunshine to your home with its dazzling rays. It comes with two pre-printed designs—a sun and rainbow—and over 700 colorful gemstones for your child to work with.

The package also includes:

  • Two color guides, one for each SunGemmers design
  • Double-sided mounting tape that sticks the art firmly on the window
  • A pamphlet with instructions on how to make the SunGemmers

It’s an easy craft and your little girl will enjoy making the design come to life in three steps:

  1. Choose a color pattern, and place the corresponding transparent SunGemmers design on top of the pre-printed color guide.

    Use a clipboard or tape to secure the two sheets together and keep the pattern aligned to the guide.

  2. Peel and stick the gemstones on the transparent sheet to match the guide underneath.

    The gems come in many different colors and two sizes. Each transparent gem has an adhesive on one side that sticks firmly to the sheet.

  3. Finally, use the mounting tape to stick the SunGemmers on your window.

    To get the perfect sun catching effect, choose a spot on your window that gets direct light. You’ll love how your home lights up with vibrant colors that travel across the room as the sun moves across the sky.
