1. Cut the flat middle circle section out of the yellow paper plate.

2. Punch 12 holes around the outside of the plate about 1/4 of an inch from the edge (to make it easy to get the holes spaced evenly, you can make dots with a black marker like the hours on a clock starting with where the 12 and the 6 are, then do the 3 and the nine, then fill in the rest of the hours).

3. Pre-fold your yellow pipe cleaners accordion-style into six 2 inch sections so they form into three even peaks.

4. Weave your pipe cleaners through the holes, twisting the last and first ends together at their edges each time you add a new pipe cleaner.

5. On your last pipe cleaner peak, twist the last and first added pipe cleaner ends together so the pipe cleaners are all connected.

6. Trace a circle a bit little larger than your googly eye on a folded piece of pink paper and simultaneously cut both circles out for the rosy cheeks.

7. Cut a smile shape for the sun’s mouth out of your black paper.

8. Glue the mouth, the googly eyes and both rosy cheeks onto the center of the sun; let dry.
