Star Gliders to Share Kindness By Karen Whiting
Make a simple paper craft and then chat about aerodynamics, stars, and symmetry. Paper crafts help children develop small motor coordination. This one allows children to manipulate it for further practice with motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Plus, adding words or pictures provides an opportunity to reinforce kindness or even summarize a lesson.It’s great to encourage a child to make 2. They can keep one and give one to a friend! patters
Get the star glider pattern and grab a piece of computer paper. Use colored paper or let children color the paper. A little tape or glue dot, and scissors is all you need to make one..
Let a group of children make them and spin them together, a few feet apart. See what ones land first, go a further distance, and what ons have more spins.
You can also make these as invitations to come to church or to a party or game dame. Just add the invite information of what, where, when, and party theme or special message about the event.
This is one of many activities from The Super-Sized book of Bible Craft Gifts by Rebecca White and Karen Whiting, a mother-daughter writing team! The book includes 101 paper crafts and 21 STEAM lessons to connect the Arto to science and math. This one has a lesson non stars to use with it. Ty making them different sizes and see if that changes the flight pattern.
Encouraging a child to make a gift inspires generosity and caring for others. They can make them for family members, friends, and grandparents! Words or phrases to reinforce kindness can be “I like you,” “You are a good friend,” “Let’ play together,” share, jokes, laughter, or “God loves you.” Pictures can be hearts, smiles, rainbows, a cross, or anything a child wants to draw.
