Making a Christmas Star

What you'll need

• Square tissue paper
• Glue stick

How it works

1.

   Take a square piece of tissue paper. Can you see how the light shines through it? It's almost like holding a rainbow in your hands! Now, fold the square in half so it looks like a triangle.

   Unfold the triangle and see, there's a crease in the middle! Now fold one corner to the center along this crease. Do the same with the other corner. Look! It now looks like a little dragon!

   Now comes the tricky part. Fold both tips of the paper back to the outer edge.

   Now fold the opposite tips to the center. It now looks like a little arrow. Do this with 16 pieces of paper.

   Once you have enough folded arrows, glue the tips together to form a star. Do you see how the individual pieces come together to create a beautiful star? Every piece is important, just like each of you is important.
