Space Suncatchers (24 Pack)

Space Suncatchers send creativity into orbit as kids paint colorful planets, rockets, astronauts, and alien spaceships, then hang their finished creations in a sunny window where the light brings every color to life.

Blast Off Into a Colorful Space Adventure

Turn craft time into a trip through outer space with paintable plastic suncatchers featuring four fun cosmic designs. Kids can choose an astronaut, rocket ship, ringed planet, or alien spaceship and transform the clear sections with their favorite colors.

The raised outlines help separate the different areas of each design, making it easier for kids to experiment with bold color combinations while keeping the details recognizable. They can follow familiar space colors or imagine entirely new planets, rockets, spacesuits, and extraterrestrial worlds.

Once the paint dries, the finished projects can be hung in a sunny window where light shines through the translucent colors for the classic suncatcher effect. Instead of ending when the painting is finished, the activity creates a decorative keepsake kids can enjoy afterward.

The assorted designs range from 3" to 5", giving kids enough room for creative color choices and smaller details without making the project overwhelming. With four different designs, groups can create an entire collection of space-themed window art.

These suncatchers fit naturally into schools, after-school programs, summer camps, space camps, VBS, recreation programs, science units, birthday parties, and other activities centered around astronauts, planets, rockets, or outer space.
