Fairy Godmother's Magic Wand

Materials Needed:

Ribbons/streamers (variety of colors)
Yellow construction paper
Newspaper
Foil
Tape
Glue

Template

What to Do:

Using template, trace/copy and cut out star onto yellow construction paper.
Demonstrate to children how to:

        - Roll and tape three sheets of newspaper together (width-wise) to create a tube/wand.
        - Wrap newspaper with foil and tape edges.
        - Cut strips of ribbon/crepe paper streamers.
        - Line up one end of all the ribbons and wrap them with tape to hold them together.
        - Push taped end of ribbon/crepe paper streamers into the top of the wand and glue.
        - Glue/tape star to top of wand.

 * This activity requires a lot of teacher assistance. Therefore if you are working with a large group of children you may want to do this as a group project and only make a couple of wands to be used as props in dramatic play.
