Art Activity on Ways to Work with Paper and a Star Wars Craft

A poster created by a student with different ways to sculpt paper: cut paper (into fringe), crumpled paper, bent paper, twisted paper, ripped paper, and accordion folded paper.

I'm trying to work on more crafting and 3D artwork projects with one of my students who enjoys art, and we had fun with this activity. We tried out different ways to "sculpt" with paper (pictured are cut, crumple, bend, twist, twirl, rip, and fold). We then chose one to make a craft of a Star Wars character. The student chose to fold the paper to make this droid's arms and legs This activity was great to work on fine motor skills as well as language/communication during the project.

I also worked on following written directions during the project. You can read more about how I use written direction and written prompts to help kids work more independently here: https://www.autismhomeschoolsuccess.com/single-post/2019/08/21/Increasing-Independence-with-Written-Prompts

A note card with the text, "Draw 2 hands" written on it. The student drew two hands on yellow paper to cut out to make the art project.

This Star Wars paper craft is such a fantastic idea for a homeschooling activity! My nephew is a huge fan, and finding creative ways to keep him engaged while also working on fine motor skills is always a win. It actually reminds me of a period a few months back when I was so busy helping my sister organize his educational schedule that I completely neglected my own job search. I was so stressed about my outdated CV but didn't have much of a budget, so I had to look for Affordable Resume Writing Services just to get my applications back on track while focusing on family needs. It’s all about finding those helpful resources so we can spend more time…

This art activity post is such a fun mix of creativity and imagination the Star Wars craft made me smile, and I can totally see kids getting lost in it for hours. I was reading it between study sessions during a hectic week, and honestly, there were moments I thought someone could take my online exam just so I’d have a little extra time to enjoy playful posts like this without feeling rushed.

I loved how your art activity post made something simple like paper crafts feel meaningful and fun, especially tying it into Star Wars in a way kids can actually enjoy. It made me think back to a tough week when I was swamped and genuinely wanted someone could take my online class for me just so I had time to create with my kids. your post makes me smile.
