- Place a fern, flower, or other object on the special paper and set it in the sun briefly.
- Then rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears.
- Developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, Berkeley, California

- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025I got these for the winter holiday break to try get creative while hanging out with kids obsessed with their phone screens. We looked for objects we could find around grandparents house - including seaweeds from the FL beach walk, vegetation around the house, and items in the refrigerator and exposed them to the sun. A bit tricky to get the right amount of sunlight (in Florida it was very easy to overexpose and ruin a few sheets of sunprint paper) and get it fast enough to a sink to rinse out. Overall it got the creativity going and a fun creative process - perhaps for for grown ups than for kids.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024If you just want quick and easy results, this is perfect for you. Follow the instructions and stay out of the sunlight unless the paper is being exposed. However, the paper is small, thin, and expensive. If you enjoy this, buy the bottles and you'll be amazed at what you can do with bigger, heavier paper and other materials like fabric and wood.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021I've bought this cyanotype kit for over 35 years to use with kids in beginning photo. It's an easy way to teach photo sensitivity. The only problem with the new kit is the included square of thick plexi-glass htas been substituted with much thinner square. Not enough weight to hold the leaves, petals, etc flat to paper surface so results aren't as dramatic.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2022This a really neat little activity to do with kids and turns out to be really pretty art work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab if you follow instructions
Fab activity for myself and my nine year old. She had fun collecting the leaves on our walk and then making er own ‘photos’.
We took care to keep the paper out of the sun till we were ready.
Once in the sun, the paper only took around 2 mins to turn very light blue then we quickly rinsed and they worked great. Broad leaves definitely worked best.
We used a glass dish to hold ours down rather than the Perspex square they came with so we could do two at once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lustige Sache mit Enkeln
Habe ich ich meiner Enkelin gemacht, die sich gefreut hat und das auch spannend fand. Die Anwendung ist einfach und die Anleitung ausreichend informativ. Nach dem Entwickeln hatten die Bilder unterschiedlich intensive Blautöne, das hat sich aber nach kurzer Zeit angeglichen.
