A paper constellation for your desk.

On your desk

• Thin card stock
• A sheet of paper for the base
• Pencils or markers
• A glue stick
• Scissors, with adult help

Let’s make it

1. Draw three large stars on the card stock. They can all be different: personality matters more than precision.
2. Ask an adult to help cut out the stars. Avoid tiny decorations that could come loose.
3. Colour each star in a shade from the same palette. Write three kind words to yourself on their backs.
4. Accordion-fold a paper strip into a base that can stand on your desk. Glue the stars to its front faces without covering all the folds.
5. Place the little constellation on a stable shelf, away from candles, hot lamps and small children. It is not a wearable toy.
