How to Make This Star Craft For Kids

Begin by drawing simple star shapes on the sponge with a marker. You’ll want two stars of different sizes, so one larger and one small star. You should be able to get two out of one sponge.

If drawing a simple star shape is a challenge you can outline a star cookie cutter or grab our star outlines from the free star template of our star paper plate wreath.

Cut out the stars.

Spread yellow and white paint on a flat surface. A paper plate works, or just a flat scrap piece of cardstock.

Dip a sponge in the yellow paint. Make sure all the tips of the sponge are covered completely with paint. Stamp the sponge on your black paper. Carefully remove the stamp.

Keep stamping across the page.

Then, do the same with the other sponge and white paint.

Finally, load a paintbrush with yellow paint.

Use another paintbrush to tap on the handle of the brush, splattering paint across the stars like an explosion of twinkling lights in the sky.

You have yourself easy and fun star crafts.

A simple craft with a star theme can be so much fun. We went with white and yellow, but colorful stars or different colors based on the holiday make for just as lucky stars.

Happy Star Bright and Happy Crafting!
