Templates for 24 different windmills to cut out and constructHOW TO DO IT - WINDMILL WITH STICK, WIRE, AND BEADS Drill a hole through a length of wooden dowel with a drill. Thread a piece of sturdy wire through the hole and twist one end of the wire around the dowel.First thread one bead onto the wire, then your chosen windmill and lastly another bead. Trim the end of the wire with pliers or snips and bend it around the outside bead. HOW TO DO IT - WINDMILL WITH STICK, WIRE, AND PAPER TUBE Put

Template for a domed star chart showing the best-known constellations visible from the Northern Hemisphere, diameter 12.5 inch. We call the part of the sky that appears to curve over the horizon the ‘celestial vault’. In ancient stories and legends, the appearance of the sky is described as a domed glass bell over the earth. However, since the sky is not at any particular distance from the observer, this ‘vault’ is an illusion. The stars do appear to be very far away but you can‘t see the enormo

Art Essentials: Light & Shadow - Representing Space With Color When you try to draw a real object spatially, you notice that the contour lines with which you‘re trying to represent the three-dimensionality of the object on paper don‘t exist in the real world. Our perception of spatial dimensions – that is length, width, and depth, arises from the way light reflects differently from surface to surface. The edges of a cube are only visible because the different surfaces that meet along each edge h

The rainbow has fascinated people since ancient times. The rainbow, which appears in the sky after torrential rain and storms when the rain begins to ease and the sun comes out, promises that dark clouds and danger have passed and brighter, better times are on the way. The rainbow is a symbol of hope that appears to form a bridge between the earth and sky. We now know that the colors of the rainbow are created by the refraction of sunlight through water droplets in the atmosphere. But when Isaa

Hyper-realistic Spatial Illusions - Working With ShadingThe simplicity of the templates and the precise example images enable you to draw hyper-realistic pictures which will astonish you. This is a fascinating exercise for anyone who wants to learn how to represent the interplay of light and shadow with a pencil. Only with the depiction of light and shadow do you give a sketch or drawing the impression of depth and contrast. You can achieve this realistic effect by shading with a pe

MY FIRST CRAFT PROJECT: These templates can be decorated using multiple craft techniques. Create colorful patterns by either painting or glueing on scraps of paper, such as construction paper, tissue paper or tracing paper. COLORFUL MOSAIC Cut tissue paper into small mosaic tiles and glue them on the template with a glue stick. The pieces may overlap. Let them dry and then neatly cut out the shape. MOSAIC Cut tissue paper into small mosaic tiles and, arranging them by color, glue them on the t

ABOUT DOT-PAINTINGDot-painting with cotton swabs is a great way to develop fine motor skills. Working with cotton swabs can also be seen as a step on the road to writing, whereby you train the hand to hold a pencil. Fine motor skills require a highly complex interplay of brain, nerves, and muscles. They consist of targeted and coordinated movements most often expressed as manual dexterity. Manual dexterity is made up of hand and finger strength, hand and finger dexterity, hand-eye coordination (
