Cardboard Star Animals

Use your imagination and turn a star into an animal! Attach a magnet and hang them on the fridge. You could even attach to a wooden skewer and put on your own puppet show.

Search terms: fun with paint, lion, papercraft, fish, butterfly.

  • Step 1Use a pencil to lightly draw your animal on a cardboard star. This is not essential, but helps with planning your design. Look to our animal designs for inspiration or come up with your own.
  • Step 2Paint your animals in bright colours. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Use a marker to add detail to your animal.
  • Step 4Attach wiggle eyes to your animal with glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5To create more interesting animals you may like to add collage materials to your stars. We used adhesive felt and cellophane.
