Follow the Star!
This
easy Christmas craft for kids can be adapted for all ages depending on
dexterity.
You will need:
Black construction paper or card
Gold cord or thread
Large needle
(Gold pen)
(Template)
Depending on the age and stamina of your child, choose a star template
and outline it onto the black construction paper - either in pencil on the
back of the paper if you want an invisible star, or in gold on the front
of the paper.
For younger children you will need to do this step yourself. Lay the
paper on top of a folded towel or lots of newspaper, and prick, with the
needle, a series of holes along the outline of the star. Space them about
1/2 inch apart.
You may choose the draw lines to join the points of the stars through
the middle, rather than following the outline of the stars.
Thread the needle with a length of gold thread and push it through the
first hole from behind. Secure the end of the thread with a small piece of
sticky-tape. Carry on sewing around the star, making sure that you end by
going through to the back and finishing off in the same way.
