About this printable
Weather pages work because the sun is a circle kids already trust. This how to draw a sun for kids sheet adds short rays, then longer rays, then a kind face so the star feels like a friend in the sky, never a hot hazard. Count rays together. Eight and eight is enough. Eyes are dots, not sunglasses logos. Use the printable on a bright morning or during a clouds unit. If rays look like sticks, shorten them. Children who press too hard can switch to a 2H pencil. After step four, color around the sun instead of inside it so the face stays readable. Pair the page with the moon printable on another day for a simple sky set you can staple together.
