An origami ninja star that has straight points instead of slanted. This easy modular origami star is made from 2 sheets of square paper. – Paper Kawaii
My students adore making this one. The number of these I have been gifted after a read aloud session do not bear counting. One I was gifted recently came to me after a learner asked me my favorite colors. :) The careful, sweet thoughtfulness of elementary children is hard to match.
So, if you have a young friend in the elementary age range and need to occupy them for a few minutes (or sometimes many, many minutes), I highly recommend teaching them how to make these.
For the Montessori inclined, this activity provides and excellent arc for the human tendency of mastery, because they can relatively quickly refine their folds and see how much better the modules come together when they exert greater precision and care.
