Paper Star Origami

Origin of Lucky Star OrigamiThere was once a little girl in Japan named Hoshi. She loved the stars in the night sky and would lie on the grass at night,staring at them. As hours went by, she would wonder how the tiny stars could shine so bright, remaining suspended in the air for so long.

One night, the stars fell out of heaven in a shower of light. So many fell, Hoshi was afraid there would be no more. Saddened, she ran to her home and found herself an empty glass jar. She took up paper and folded one paper star for each spot she’d seen fall. Within the night, the little girl folded perhaps a hundred paper stars.

And yet, she was still saddened because many more stars had fallen from the sky and she hadn’t been able to fold a paper star for each of them.

The next night, she saw only a few stars in the night sky. She ran and knocked on all the doors in the village, asking all the little boys and girls to come out. She explained to them her worry and each of the children wanted to help. That night they made two thousand stars. Every child placed their own stars in their own jar.

As they watched the sky the following night, more stars appeared in the night sky and the children cheered. After such a magical achievement, Hoshi was inspired. She looked up at the sky and said “Whenever a lucky star is made, a falling star issaved.

➢ We all have our differences, and it is important to recognize this in order to make everyone feel welcome

➢ Whether it be in school, our 4-H clubs, or other involvements, being open-minded to everyone’s ideas, cultures, and differences is crucial

➢ Trying new foods, games, and activities is an easy and fun way to expand our open-mindedness, but there are many other ways we must be receptive to change, new friends, and differing opinions

➢ Like the McDonald’s, each is different, but still has similarities
