Twinkle Little Star Kid-made Lantern

It is Rhyme Time again! Last time we learned the rhyme Miss Polly had a dolly and I made a Dolly Comfort Pillow.

This weeks rhyme is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and my daughter made a lantern!

   
So this craft calls for loosening control a little bit, and let your child use a sharp object. No need to say this will happen under supervision.

You will need a black paper/cardboard or craft foam, thick cardboard to press on, a star shape and a sharp object(a strong toothpick could work too).

  
Secure the star with a piece of sticky gum(Prestik/Blutak) and let your child press holes all around the star. This works on those fine motor skills and hand eye coordination too.

  
She did get tired of pressing the holes around the star, so I finished it off with a spiral.

  
This will works best if you add a fake tea light to it, but I did not have one at hand, so I used a real candle(carefully), just for the photo:

  
Imagine a few of these in a row on the porch at night time!

   
So pretty, and rather easy for kids to make too!
