Christmas Clipart Star
As a child I could remember when I received a gold star for every book I read I was bursting with excitement. Seeing all those gold stars beside your name made you want to read as many books as possible to receive lots of pretty gold stars. Making gold star clip art motivational posters for your children is a fantastic educational learning tool that is fun, and costs you practically nothing to make.
To get this educational project under way, start by downloading the free gold star clip art to make as many gold star clip art motivational posters for your children as you like. The gold star clip art PNG graphic can be opened in a Microsoft document, reduced and duplicated to make a complete sheet of gold clip art stars. The gold star clipart image can be printed onto white adhesive paper or plain paper. The kids can stick their clip art gold stars directly to their poster when you know they’ve finished reading their book.
To make this paper craft poster you will need poster paper, a ruler, pencil, color pencils or paint. Start by giving the motivational poster a name for eg. Tim is a Reading Star! Below this help them rule up twelve rows and two columns. Each row will be for the month of the year and the column will be for every gold star they receive.
Try to help them draw the rows and columns to allow for enough space so all the gold stars will fit as their reading skills improve. With the lines drawn let the kids color, or paint what ever they like to brighten up their new posters.
Once the gold star clip art motivational posters for your children are finished let them stick them to the back of the door in their room or on a wall near their favorite reading corner.
Yellow Star Clipart
Using yellow star clipart to make star projects is so much fun. Star clipart can be used to make all sorts of paper craft projects like star Christmas cards, Christmas tree toppers or perhaps another project that needs a yellow five pointed star.
Today’s star project where going to make a Christmas card using star clipart, 200gsm printer paper(white), paint brush, and a silver glitter glue pen. The 200gsm paper is just a guide, but make sure the paper is rigid enough and your printer can handle the thickness.
To make your star clip art card download the star and print directly onto thick white card. Let the card stand for about ten minutes so the ink has a chance to dry. Make sure the star is low and center and the card is the right size and shape for the envelope, before cutting the card out.
To give your star clipart a bit of Christmas bling, use the glitter glue with the paint brush and apply a thin coat over the star. This way there is less of a chance of the ink bleeding. Once again wait for the glitter glue to dry.
Remember this is a Christmas clipart idea and really this star clipart card can be used for any occasion just by writing Happy Birthday or You’re a Star instead of Merry Christmas. For another star project visit Printable Star Coloring Pages.

Shooting Star Award
Awards are a great form of encouragement but why wait until your child receives one at school, when you can reward them at home when they’ve achieved with a shooting star clipart award. Shooting star clipart awards are a lot of fun to make and your childrens eyes will sparkle like stars when they receive one.
Just the other day my friend emailed me and told that her daughters have been doing extremely well at school. They both had received awards with stars on them. One was for being the best student of the month and the other for improvements to her reading.
My friend was very proud of her children and I am sure she was gushing with excitement when her girls received their awards at assembly. Children like to be encouraged and a good way to reward them is for small things they do like picking up after themselves, feeding the dog or doing some type of chore really well.
Making handmade awards using clip art stars is so much fun, and it doesn’t require a lot of craft supplies. All that is needed is some colored or white card, printable shooting star clipart, scissors, glue and a pen. If you have glitter, borders or other embellishments you can pretty up the award even more.
Print of your shooting star clipart directly to card or if you prefer print it off onto plain paper, cut around the shooting star and stick it down with glue to the card.
The next thing is to write a few words of encouragement like, To ……….. Thank you for feeding the dog it has really helped mummy or daddy. Keep up the good work!
Just before your pick up the children from school place your shooting star clipart award on their pillow. I am sure when the star award is discovered they will be so excited. The star award might even encourage their siblings to be on their best behavior.
Download your shooting star clipart and make a wish at the same time by right mouse clicking and choose the “Save As” option.
