Triangle Star Ornament


Brayden made this cute star in Primary this past Sunday. It is quite simple and a fun way for your child to make an ornament. This is perfect if you want to learn about the shape triangle at this time of year. It is also great for developing geometry skills in recognizing shapes within shapes.

Cut out two triangles. If your child is old enough, have him cut them out. This is excellent fine motor practice.

Glue the two triangles together so they form a star shape. Punch a hole in one point, tie a ribbon, and you are done!

This is simple enough for older children (preschooler and older) to do without your direct help, so you could have this be a Christmas activity while you are doing other things close by.

  1. This is such a lovely and creative activity for kids. I really like how it combines festive fun with early learning, especially helping children understand triangles and recognize shapes within shapes. Letting them cut, glue, and assemble the star is also great for building fine motor and independence skills. Activities like this show how simple crafts can support learning in a natural way, which is something I often reflect on while working on academic projects too, especially when looking for clear explanations and structure duringDissertation Help tasks. A perfect balance of creativity and learning.
