Star Card
You can shoot for the stars, but why not grow them from a pot, too? Plant a pot of stars with this magical card. Using little more than foam and construction paper, children will create a pot, some leaves and foliage, and stars that grow from the pot like flowers. Your child will practice cutting shapes and layering patterns as they work on this creative craft. This is a fun and easy way to ring in the spring or summer seasons, and it makes a great birthday or holiday card to give to friends and family!
What You Need:
- Construction paper (we used glitter-embedded construction paper)
- Orange and red foam sheets
- Scissors
- Glue
- Pencil
What You Do:
- Have your child fold one sheet of construction paper in half to create the base for the card.
- Have them draw and cut out the base and lip for the pot from the foam sheets. They can glue them together to finish the pot and set it aside.
- Encourage your child to draw the outlines for stars of all sizes on different colored construction paper. After they're done drawing them, they can cut them out.
- Now, they can draw and cut out leaves from green construction paper.
- Finally, it's time to assemble all of the parts. Have them glue down a few of the leaves first, then glue down the pot, the rest of the leaves, and all of the stars to complete their star card.
