Ingredients

  • Cereal Box - I used Fruity Pebbles
  • White Paper printer or construction paper is fine
  • Tape
  • Scissors
  • Aluminum Foil

Instructions

  • Empty the box of cereal and feel free to munch on the Fruity Pebbles while you begin DIYing.
  • Cut out a rectangle shape of white paper or cardboard that will fit snuggly inside the bottom of the box and tape into place.
  • Cut a square shape on the left and right sides of the top of the box and tape up the center.
  • Cover one of the square holes with aluminum foil and tape into place.
  • Using a small nail or pencil, poke a small hole in the foil.
  • When the eclipse comes, look through the open square, with your back facing the sun. A small image of the sun will be projected through the foil and onto the white paper inside the box. Remember, never look directly at the sun!
  • Enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity!
