Maureen and Shanti from Twig and Toadstool share a tutorial at Rhythm of the Home showing how to make felt shooting stars. The stuffed felt stars have ribbon streamers that will trail behind when it gets tossed. What an absolutely joyful toy for a child! Get the tutorial.

Attached to a thin dowel, this makes a wonderful magic wand.
