Paper Crafts for Children

This is one of those ‘not much needed’ paper crafts for children. All need is some square paper to craft up this super star box

	Start with a square piece of paper. Make four folds across the paper.
	Bring the top and bottom corners together and tuck in the other two sides.
	With the opening at the top, fold one side along to the central fold.
	Open up the flap and press it open.
	Tuck the side of the flap under itself.
	Now do the same to the other flap on that side, turn it over and repeat on the other side.
	Fold the four flaps down as far as you can.
	Pull the flaps open and push the bottom of the star box against a table, using your hand inside the box to make the shape.
	Wow – beautiful, now it just needs to be filled with treats or a present for someone!
