Sun Templates for Summer Crafts

Looking for easy summer crafts for kids? These free sun templates are perfect for torn paper crafts, coloring pages, and classroom activities. Simple, creative, and full of sunshine.

At my house, we love summer crafts. The sun is one of our favorite things to make. It’s bright, happy, and reminds us of sunny days at the park or beach. A simple sun shape can turn into a colorful masterpiece with just a little imagination.

I like to print a few different styles of sun templates. Some have wavy rays. Others have triangle points. Some are simple with just a circle and lines. You can pick the one that works best for your craft.

One fun idea is to write a happy message in the center of the sun. Something like “You brighten my day!” or “Shine on!” It adds a sweet touch.

These templates are also great for teaching shapes and colors. My kids love to choose their own colors for each ray. Sometimes they even make rainbow suns.

Sun templates are simple, but they bring a lot of joy. Whether it’s for a quiet afternoon craft or a classroom project, they’re easy to use.

Craft Ideas for the Sun Templates

You can use the sun templates for:

Torn paper crafts – Rip yellow and orange paper and glue it onto the sun.
Coloring pages – Just print and let the kids color.
Cut and paste projects – Cut out the shapes and glue them onto a background.
Classroom decorations – Brighten up any wall or bulletin board.
Cards or gifts – Add a happy sun to a card for someone you love.

One of my favorite crafts is the torn paper sun. I give my kids scraps of yellow, orange, and even red paper. They tear the paper into little pieces and glue them inside the sun shape. It turns out so colorful and textured. They love the ripping part.

Another fun idea is a “sunshine jar.” Print a sun template, color it, and tape it to the front of a jar. Then, cut small slips of paper and write happy notes on each one. Add them to the jar. It becomes a jar full of sunshine and smiles.

Teachers can use these templates too. They make great bulletin board pieces. Kids can each decorate their own sun and write their name in the middle. Then hang them all up on a board that says “Our Class Shines Bright!” It’s a great way to build classroom community.

So go ahead—print a few, grab some supplies, and get crafting. Let your creativity shine.

Sun Templates

I have created five different sun templates for you. The sun templates are for personal use or classroom use only. They cannot be altered or sold. Click on the link below for the sun templates.

I love how each sun template has its own style. The first sun is extra sweet with a cute face. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to add a cheerful touch to their craft.

The second sun has square rays, which makes it look bold and modern. It’s fun to fill in with different colors or patterns.

The third sun has triangle rays that give it a classic sunshine look. The fourth sun is simple with straight lines. The fifth sun outline has wavy rays. Each sun is different, and that’s what makes them so fun to use.
