Paper Patriotic Shooting Star - Kid Craft Idea

Get creative for the 4th of July! Let your patriotic spirit shine like a shooting star in this fun and easy crafting project.

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first -print out the FREE printable listed above, on one sheet of white cardstock. You only need one star printable per craft.
  • Have children decorate the inside of their star printable however they like. I highly encourage the use of red and blue colors though!
  • Once done, use scissors to trim out the decorated star shape.
  • Discard excess paper.
  • Now grab your red and blue cardstock & the scissors again.
  • Cut out a few long stripes for the “firework” aspect of the craft. For mine, I did five stripes of paper per star.
  • Use your hands to fold each strip into an accordion design.
  • Now grab the stapler and all your folded paper pieces, along with the decorated star.
  • Staple the shooting star “beams” to the back of the star shape.
  • Finally – we are going to give our star some personality. Glue on the wiggle eyes and draw on a face.
  • And that’s it! Add other embellishments you see fit to your Paper Patriotic Shooting Star before displaying it proudly for all to see!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished shooting star creations with us! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
