About this printable
Stars confuse kids who try to draw them in one swirl. This how to draw a star for kids printable breaks the shape into a line, a triangle, an overlapping triangle, then a five-point outline. Sparkles around it are extra. Night walks, reward charts, and space folders all use stars. Keep it a plain geometric star, not a brand mark. If points look chewed, slow down on the last panel and count to five out loud. A ruler is allowed for the first line only. Classroom teachers can demo on the board using the same order. Color yellow after the outline is dark. Try a second star tilted. Date the page. Children often want another copy the next morning, which is a good sign the steps landed.
