Let your kids make their own sunglasses and personalize them with their choice of foam stickers. Purchase inexpensive foam sunglasses at a craft store along with foam stickers in different shapes, sizes and colors. Have children pick out about half a dozen of their favorite foam stickers and then place them as they like on the foam sunglasses. This is a timely party favor or craft for summer birthday parties.
Mouse masks are a creative craft to pair with a book like "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." For the craft, you will need plastic sunglasses, grey construction paper, pink construction paper, a red pompom, a cone shaped paper cup, hook and loop tape strips and black pipe cleaner, according to Arts & Crafts for Kids. Have kids cut out a mouse head shape out of the grey construction paper. Cut eye openings and then cut out circles for the inside of the ears with the pink construction paper. Then glue the red pompom to the pointed end of the paper cup to create the mouse nose. Poke pipe cleaners into either side of snout for mouse whiskers. Attach one side of a piece of hook and loop tape to the back of the mask and the other to the eyeglasses. Velcro piece to the back of mask and also to the sunglasses.
Although they will not protect kids eyes from the sun, pipe cleaner sunglasses are a another sunglass craft to create. The only supplies you need are three pipe cleaners (your choice of color) and a pair of scissors. Cut one pipe cleaner in half and create circles (or lenses) with these two halves. Cut two inches off of the other two pipe cleaners and use one of the cut small pieces to create the nose piece of the glasses. Then connect the longer two pieces of pipe cleaner to the "lenses" and create ear holders with them.
