Materials:

- Construction Paper
- Glue
Art Project Tutorial:
Step 1
Cut a small piece of sandpaper for each child and instruct them to color it in with various colors of oil pastels
Step 2
Encourage children to use complementary colors to really pop! Creating a border like in the photo will have a great effect on the edges of the starfish.
Step 3
Draw a starfish shape on the back of the sandpaper and cut it out. Older children can do this themselves while younger children may need assistance.
Step 4
You can cut bubbles or other shapes from your remaining paper and glue to a sheet of black construction paper. Cut out a white paper to add a poem.
All done!
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.
