Discover the magic of sunlight and creativity with Djeco’s Cyanotype Starter Kit — a fascinating introduction to one of the oldest photographic printing techniques, reimagined for curious minds aged 7 and up.

This hands-on activity blends art and science in the most exciting way. Simply place leaves, flowers, or one of the included acetate silhouettes onto the special photosensitive paper, expose it to sunlight — and voilà! A deep blue print appears, like magic. Kids can experiment with natural treasures they’ve collected on a walk or use the pre-designed transparencies to explore composition, contrast, and the wonders of light. The Starter Kit includes everything needed to get started: high-quality photosensitive paper, reusable acetate designs and a plexiglas to hold your composition in place during exposure.

Perfect for solo exploration, parent-child projects, or classroom discovery, this kit invites children to create beautiful sun prints while gaining a hands-on understanding of light, shadow, and nature’s forms. A brilliant way to inspire creativity, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us — all powered by sunshine!

    About Djeco:

    Paris-based Djeco was founded in 1954 by Véronique Michel-Dalès, a woman and mother ahead of her time. Djeco was named after a little gecko, still visible in the company’s logo – a reptile that is said to bring good luck. At the time, Véronique created award-winning educational games for children that were beautiful as well as fun. Fast-forward to 1989, her son, Frédéric revived the small family business, taking it to the next level and creating the colourful Djeco universe as it is known today in more than 60 countries around the world. With a passion for quality, design and safety, these beautifully illustrated wooden toys are instantly recognizable: they have a wide range of toys, puzzles, board and card games appealing to many different ages. And also, in 2007, Djeco came out with a new line that revolutionised arts and crafts in the toy industry. They create fun and colourful kids’ craft sets: everything from origami kits, and fabric painting to DIY paper toys sets. Today, the French brand continues to innovate and collaborate with artists to create toys and games that are not only educational, but that kids everywhere want to play with!
