So this starfish craft is foolproof, actually, and perfect for even the smallest of hands. Simply trace on paper, give some paint and a cardboard roll, and let them stamp away! You can also cut out first, as we show you in the directions below, but the smallest hands may prefer the freedom of stamping first.
