Triangle Stars

I always save cardboard from boxes so I decided to make some triangles to construct stars . Click Here to print the instructions and the triangles for free. (they have lots of Montessori printables for free).

Tengo carton reciclado de cajas, decidi hacer esta actividad para construir estrellas. Aqui puedes imprimir las instrucciones y tambien los triangulos sin algun costo (puedes imprimir mas actividades tambien).




We painted the cardboard

Pintamos el carton

We let it dry over night. Then cut the triangles out and started making fun stars.

Lo dejamos secar por toda la noche.Luego cortamos los triangulos y empezamos a hacer estrellas.

Dear Jennifer. I love the quote too. Maria Montessori was such a clever lady, thanks to her we have all these great quotes that mean so much! Thanks for visiting my blog.

I found this activity very interesting. At the same time they are making different stars, learning more triangles and using their imagination.
Thanks
