The children discover various folding and cutting techniques and explore how symmetry, repetition and the joining of individual paper shapes create fascinating structures.
In the process, they experiment with different types of paper and investigate how paper changes when folded in specific ways. Using what they’ve learnt, they create their own Christmas stars in various shapes and sizes. In this way, the children learn basic geometric principles through play and take their own stars home to decorate windows, the Christmas tree or presents.
