The point of the eighth parallelogram will be in the pocket of the sixth. Then put the pocket of the eighth around the point of the seventh. Slip the pocket of the seventh parallelogram around the point of the first. Fold down the tips of the second parallelogram into the third.Ĩ. Insert a third parallelogram into the pocket of the second.Ħ. Fold down the tips of the first parallelogram inside the pocket of the second.ĥ. Insert one parallelogram into the pocket of the first.Ĥ. Orient two parallelograms so the the "pocket" in which you see the interior color is on the right.ģ. You will now connect all 8 parallelograms.Ģ. The resulting shape will be a parallelogram.ġ. The creases you made in step 2 will collapse between the sides.ħ. Fold paper in half ( repeating step 1).Ħ. Open paper with colored side facing down.Ĥ. It is not strictly necessary but it makes the final fold easier.)ģ. ( Note: I like to also crease this same fold on the alternate side. With paper oriented vertically, and open side on the right, bring bottom left corner to right hand edge. Open and repeat fold so white side of paper is showing.Ģ. You can also see the technique in action in the video below.ġ. And isn't that what we all want in life? How to make transforming paper stars (Note: this post contains affiliate links.)īonus: the completed project looks so complicated that you can fool people into thinking you are an origami ninja. Alternatively, you can make them yourself and if your younger children are old enough that they won't rip the completed project, you can show them how to play with it. It's a good math art project when you have some one on one time with your older child. I'll be totally honest, it's not the easiest project for very little ones, but if your child can fold a paper airplane ( which is the perfect STEM play date, by the way!) then he or she can make the transforming ninja star. This gem of a project combines math, art and paper engineering. We are in love with these origami transforming paper stars.
