The card pages of the template will need to be printed out on blue cardstock.
The other pages can be printed out in a few different ways.

Then use the circle and triangle pieces as a pattern and trace them on yellow cardstock for your sun.
you’ve got the option to also have children color the pieces of the sun.
This option is especially helpful if you are making this craft in a classroom setting.

One is perfect for Mothers Day that reads Mom, you are my sunshine!
The other option is generic that will work for any recipient.
