Sun shadow art project

We just moved, so I have been trying to think of crafts that don't require a lot of materials or clean up time. This project I discovered by accident one day, and was reminded of when my son did it as a project at school.

Construction paper fades very quickly in direct sun, so if you have ever left it out you have probably seen this in action. All you need to do is choose a dark or bright color piece of construction paper, and choose things that will create interesting shapes to lay on top. Leave the paper with the objects in the sun for a half hour or longer and the objects will leave a shadow as the paper fades around them. I used a lot of foam stickers but didn't stick them on the paper. They were flat and handy, so they made the cut:)
