DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Magic Stars

This is a fun craft for very young children to make -- anyone who can wield a paintbrush can make this craft.

white paper (cardstock, construction paper or heavy bond computer paper work best)
white wax crayon (crayola, etc)
tempra paint
paint brush

Draw stars on the white paper with white crayon.
- I know this sounds odd but it will make sense as we go
- For very young children, an adult can do this prior to craft time -- it will make the project seem very magical to them
mix tempra paint with water to make a wash (about 3/4 tempra to 1/4 water -- Add a wee bit more water if the paint is still quite thick).
Paint over the white paper with your tempra paint wash and watch the stars magically appear in the night sky!
