Top Tip
Cut the ‘sand’ plate with curved edges instead of a straight edge to resemble sand.
How to Make
- To start, use the template to cut out the 3 Wise Men silhouettes from black card and the star from glitter card.
- Next, take two paper plates, the purple plate that will be your sky, and cut ¼ off the bottom.
- The yellow plate that will be your sand cut roughly 1/4 off the bottom (this is the bit you will use) making sure it will overlap the missing quarter from your sky plate.
- Paint the sky plate with purple, blue, and white acrylic paint to create a gradient. Flick white and yellow paint onto the sky to create stars.
- Cover the ‘sand’ plate with clear PVA glue, then pour glitter sand on top.
- Take your sand plate and stick it to the sky plate at the edges only, leaving space for the craft sticks to move.
- Stick the star to the top of the plate.
- Then stick two purple craft sticks together and stick the 3 Wise Men on top.
- To finish, slide the 3 Wise Men silhouettes into the gap between the sand and sky, moving them up and down to make the 3 Wise Men travel along the sand
