Fun Ways Of Making Pentacles~
(For Kids)
The Pentacle is very symbolic to the Craft. The following are some fun ways that you and your child can create personal ones.
~Potato Print~
Cut a potato in half. On the flat, round surface, carve a pentacle with either a pencil or a toothpick. Make this pretty deep. Have the child dip in paint, blot gently on a paper towel, and print down on paper in any way they want.
~Sewing Card~
Cut a circle out of heavy cardboard or posterboard. Draw a pentacle onto it. Use a hole punch to punch holes all around the pentacles cricle and along the pentagram star. Give the children a long piece of yarn and tape the ends with masking tape to form a "needle." Let the children practice "sewing" on the card.
~String~
For younger children, draw a pentacle very lightly with a pencil. Dilute white school glue with a little water. Pick out some yarn. Cut into a piece long enough for the circle. Dip it in the glue & water mixture. Put on the paper in a circle. Now cut a long piece of yarn to make the pentagram inside the circle. Lay out on the paper in the shape of a pentagram. Let dry.
~Clay~
Make or purchase the clay of your choice. Roll into a thick circle of clay. Draw a pentacle on a piece of paper the same size as your clay. Use a pencil, toothpick to trace over a piece of paper onto the clay in the shape of the pentacle. Let dry or bake according to the directions for the clay you chose.
