Developed as an educational STEM tool, it combines art and science effortlessly, requiring no darkroom or chemicals, making it perfect for creative projects, group activities, and scientific exploration. ## Description The History of SunprintSince 1975, the Sunprint Kit has provided fun, learning, and creative stimulation for the curious of all ages. Originally developed as a teaching tool by educators at the Lawrence Hall of Science on the UC Berkeley campus. All proceeds from the sale of Sunprint Kits continue to aid our mission to inspire and foster the learning of science and mathematics for all. The SunPrint Solar Paper lets you make beautiful pictures by placing objects on the paper and exposing it to the sun. The paper undergoes a chemical change when exposed to sunlight. Save the print by soaking in water then drying. The Sunprint paper can be used for a creative, solar art project. With this paper you can also demonstrate UV blocking sunscreen by smearing sunscreen on plexiglass and exposing the paper to the sun. Use different strengths of sunscreen and see how the image has changed.Sunprints encourage an interest in the photographic process using only sun, water, and a bit of imagination.Place a fern, flower, or other object on the special paper and set it in the sun briefly. Then rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears!The Super Sunprint Kit contains 15 8″x12″ sheets and one acrylic overlay.Ages 6 to AdultMADE IN THE USA Review: No dark room needed! - I stumbled across this by accident, and although it seemed a bit pricey for only being able to make 10 images, I thought this would be a fun project for my grand-daughter (age 9) to work on over the summer. I guess these kits have been around for a long time, but somehow I never knew about them...I think they are a great idea, and I had fun, too! Easy directions are on the back of the package. The kit is simple: inside of the package is the paper in a protective dark pack--don't let light hit the paper when taking out one sheet! and a thick piece of acrylic to hold the objects to be printed flat--there is an adhesive sheet protecting it that needs to be discarded first. We simply laid a large, flat piece of cardboard on the lawn in a spot where there was full sun. For the first picture, she made a simple design from pieces of torn paper to make a floral pattern...she put the print paper on the cardboard, arranged her design on top, and covered it with the acrylic. It took about two minutes for the light blue paper to turn white and then she just popped it into a dishpan full of clean water--I know now that it is best to change the water after every one or two pictures--and it slowly turned a dark blue, and ta-daa! There was the image! Pretty! From there, she tried 3-D objects (without the acrylic sheet, of course) and the one that turned out the best was a branch with fruit--the detail and depth came out great! I didn't see any refills available for the same size paper (about 8 x 10) but I was able to order a couple of 5 x 7 packs, so lots of opportunity to make more Sun Prints! I think this is a great kit for elementary school age kids (and I'm sure older kids could come up with some pretty creative uses, too) but for more than one child, with only 10 sheets, I think it would be best to have a refill on hand. In fact, if kids want to make Sun Prints with 3-D objects, the kit isn't needed at all, just save some money & purchase the paper by itself! Review: Perfect product. Easy & ready to use. - Fun & easy to use. Finished product works great in my Art Journal. ## Features - EASY TO USE: Objects that eclipse the sun’s light will show up in white, with the rest of the paper turning a vibrant Prussian Blue. Place a fern, flower, or other object on the special paper and set it in the sun briefly. Then rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears! - HANDS-ON FUN: Sunprinting is a great hands-on activity to do with groups. Whether it be in the classroom, in a camp, a museum workshop, birthday party or any other group setting, get people together, share ideas and play - VERSATILE: Layering techniques, motion, and manipulation of the paper itself are all implements in the Sunprinter’s toolbox. Make prints of physical objects or transfer digital images via transparency sheet - ART WITH THE POWER OF THE SUN: Sunprinting is based on the cyanotype process, which has been used by artists since its development in the 19th century - SUN-BASED SCIENCE: Sunprint paper can be used as a scientific tool. Its sensitivity to ultra-violet light lends itself to sun-based investigations. It can also be used as a measuring tool for any other UV light source, or as a photographic medium to use in scientific experiments ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001KOGY3M | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,278 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #100 in Art Painting Kits | | Brand Name | SunPrint | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,497) | | Educational Objective | STEM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09780924886768 | | Included Components | acrylic overlay | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 12.5 x 9.5 x 0.4 inches | | Item Weight | 300 Grams | | Manufacturer | SunPrint | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 144.00 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 72.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_86676 | | Material Type | Paper | | Model Number | FBA_86676 | | Set Name | SunPrint Paper Kit | | Size | .1 Pack | | Theme | Sun,Flower | | UPC | 616271002744 793631700936 787793938955 599038287984 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SunPrint - **Color:** white, blue - **Item Weight:** 300 Grams - **Paper Finish:** Specially Coated - **Sheet Size:** 15.8 x 12 Inches ## Images ![Paper Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QWGeVXD0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a way to keep the images from fading?** A: YES! On Amazon, look up PremierArt Print Shield Spray. It's a UV and water resistant lacquer fixative spray. Should easily both protect the finished image and prevent fading. Just make sure the print is fully dried before spraying, and do two coats, 15 minutes apart. **Q: How many sheets come in the kit and what size is each sheet? I want to get this for a class, but I am not sure if I need to buy more than one kit.** A: My kit had 20-8X11 sheets which I cut into four and then I had plenty for my enitire class. Since there is only one acrilyc cover needed to hold the paper in place, you may need to have four childdren do the process at at time OR use overhead transparencies sheets to cover the paper so more children can do the process at the same time. My kids loved their prints which turned out beautifully. **Q: I would like to do this with 6 kids at once. If it only comes with one acrylic sheet is this possible?** A: You are correct that there is only one acrylic sheet included with each kit. The kids will either have to take turns using it, or you can buy multiple kits. **Q: Do the images fade over time?** A: The images actually should NOT fade over time as long as you use the kit properly and keep the image in water for 1 minute after exposure to rinse the light reactive chemicals. I have prints I made 10 years ago that look just as good as the day I made them and I love them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No dark room needed! *by S***U on August 30, 2015* I stumbled across this by accident, and although it seemed a bit pricey for only being able to make 10 images, I thought this would be a fun project for my grand-daughter (age 9) to work on over the summer.

Easy & ready to use. *by L***A on July 22, 2025* Fun & easy to use. Finished product works great in my Art Journal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like old fashioned blueprint paper *by N***R on September 24, 2021* The paper worked well. It was not fogged, so the image was clear. We used a drop of hydrogen peroxide to deepen the blue, so that worked well. The exposure ranged from 2 minutes in the sun to over 15 minutes on a dark, cloudy day, It was a fun project. The paper is very thin, like old blueprints of building plans. This is fine, but I have used other cyanotype paper that was thick like watercolor paper, and it provided a more substantial print. I have no problem with this being thin, but those who are looking for paper the weight of drawing paper could be disappointed. ## Frequently Bought Together - SunPrint Paper Kit - 4" x 4" Sunprint Kit - Sun Print Paper Kit Cyanotype Paper, 24 Sheets Cyanotype Papers with 1 Sheet Acrylic Panel, High Sensitive Nature Sun/Solar Activated Sun Printing Art Paper for Arts Crafts DIY Project --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/2773603-paper-kit](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/2773603-paper-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
