Step 1
Give each child a square of sandpaper, and
let them decorate it with oil pastels.  You
don't need to press very hard because the
paper is pretty gritty.

Sandpaper Starfish
  • Black & White
    Construction Paper
  • Sandpaper
  • Glue
  • Oil Pastels
   (we used Crayola)
  • Is a starfish a fish?
  • What are some unique features of
    starfish?
  • What do starfish eat?
Step 2
Make sure you use lots of different colors,
and spread them out a bit over the square.  
The more variety you put into it, the more
dazzling your starfish will be.
Step 3
Cut out a starfish shape from the paper.  
Save the scraps to cut little circles and
other shapes for your creation.
Step 4
Arrange your starfish, and glue it to a sheet of
black construction paper.  Cut out a wavy shape
from your white paper and glue it on the side.

Use the space to write all about Starfish, or even
a little poem.  We used ours to think of an
adjective for each letter in the word Starfish.
