Bought this for a History of Photography project and it was a lot of fun. Took the paper into my makeshift darkroom (bathroom)and cut paper into 4x5's and took it to my daughters pre-school to make these sun prints. It was a fun learning experience and so neat to see your pictures come to life right in front of you. I like how it comes w/ plexi glass as it helps hold down leafs and flowers. I would also suggest to rinse the paper in lemon water, I got a more vivid blue.

Sun Art Kits make a great gift for any young photographer. In general they're a fun craft/science project for any sunny day. You can create some really beautiful photos with this, though it may take a few tries, especially if it's new for everyone. Just set up whatever you want to take a picture of so the sun is shining through it and onto the paper. When you expose the paper the longer you do it the more striking the contrast will be. Tons of fun, I would highly recommend this. Smaller paper is also available here SunArt Paper 5x7; UV Sensitive Rayograph Paper KIT [Toy].

Honest reviews on Tedco 8" X 10" Sun Art Paper Kit - 15 sheets
This is an easy, low-toxic, inexpensive way to introduce your kid to photography. They were "underwhelmed". I tried to explain the historical significance of Man Ray's work, but I think that was lost on a 4-year-old.

I love this product and it's a great introduction to photography for kids. Took it to my child's school for science visit in 3rd grade all kids had a blast. There were 26 children, so I cut the sheets in four quarters and had plenty left over. I also brought cut up transparency sheets, flat card board boxes (used cereal boxes) for support and big paper clips. We asked kids a few days before to bring in little ornate objects for this experiment. In the beginning of the visit I gave out card board, transparency, paper clips and sun paper (upside down). Kids had to write their names on the back of the sun paper for tracking. Then told them to arrange these in the following order: card board, sun paper, their object, put transparency on top and secure with the paper clips. We left it out for a few minutes next to the window while I explained the process. After that I had kids come up to the table (three at a time) where I prepared three tubs with "lemon" water to rinse out their creation. The look on kids faces was amazing as they saw the picture "pop out" in water. I had to replace water a few times as it became blue and it was hard to see picture pop out. I also recommend wearing gloves, as my hands were pretty blue after working with so many pictures.
