Super Sunprint Kit

Make your own solar prints with the power of the sun and cyanotype technology. SUNPRINT® Kits are an easy and exciting project to do—perfect for DIY crafts, science experiments, and learning about the natural world.

All you need is sunlight, water, and a dash of creativity. This engaging activity is perfect for exploring photography while introducing the concept of chemical change.

Get imaginative by selecting leaves, flowers, or everyday objects with unique textures. Simply place them on the special sunprint paper, and after just a few minutes in the sun, you'll see a striking white silhouette of your object against a vibrant blue background. Rinse the paper with water to set the image and complete your artwork.

This sun-printing technique is based on the cyanotype process, or “blueprint,” which has been a favorite among artists since the 19th century. With its enchanting results, Sunprint Kits blend science and art into a creative experience for both kids and adults.

SUNPRINT Kits, originally developed by the Lawrence Hall of Science in 1975, provide creative stimulation for curious learners of all ages. Children, families, students, and artists all use SUNPRINT Kits.
