Star Ornaments For Kids

Kids can have fun squishing, rolling, molding, and cutting their glitter infused creations with way less mess than traditional glitter! The glitter dots have a special coating so the glitter stays on the dot and not all over your hands and floor. The Glitter Dot Sparkle Station includes tools and supplies for hours of crafting fun!

We made 3 different Christmas Star ornaments using the tools and techniques from the kit as well as a trinket box and greeting cards. Glitter Dots make personalizing art for kids more fun and fabulous!
