Build an Aesthetic House on Toca w/ DIY Star Lily2011

What can I use if I don't have colored paper, glue, or scissors for the paper star lily steps?

Use magazine pages, printer paper, or wrapping paper for the petal shapes, secure the five petals at their bases with clear tape or a stapler instead of glue, and tear the paper carefully by hand or use child-safe scissors when cutting the traced petal shapes.

My petals won't line up or the flower keeps falling apart—what should I do during the cutting and gluing steps?

After tracing and cutting the petal template, align the five petals so their bases overlap evenly, add a drop of strong craft glue or a small piece of tape under the glued center, and press the finished star-shaped flower under a book until the glue sets to keep it from coming apart.

How can I adapt the Toca house and star lily activity for a 4-year-old versus a 10-year-old?

For a 4-year-old, simplify by using a larger 20 cm square paper and pre-cut petal templates while an adult helps with folding and cutting and you take the Toca screenshot for them, and for a 10-year-old, make it more challenging by using the 12 cm square, adding layered petals or sequins to the decorated petals, and matching the flower colors to the pastel Toca Life house before photographing and sharing on DIY.org.

How can we extend or personalize the finished Toca house screenshot and paper star lily project?

Create multiple star lilies in matching pastel shades, arrange and glue them onto a cardstock frame alongside the Toca house screenshot or string them into a garland to photograph as a styled display before uploading to DIY.org.
