Learn Taekwondo Moves with DIY Star RainbowSpaGirl

If I don't have cardboard, ribbon, or a foam sheet, what can I use instead?

Use poster board or a flattened cereal box for the star, a shoelace or string instead of ribbon to hang it, and a folded towel or an old sweatshirt strip as padding inside the fabric belt in place of the foam sheet.

My star keeps flopping or the ribbon rips when practicing kicks—how can I fix that?

Reinforce the top point by taping a strip of duct tape across the back where you taped the ribbon and hang the star from a sturdy hook or over the doorframe peg at waist height so it stays stable during front and side kicks.

How can I adapt the kicks and repetitions for different age groups?

For toddlers lower the star to shin height and do two gentle taps per leg, for school-age kids follow the five front and five side kicks as written, and for older kids raise the star for high kicks or add three-kick combinations to increase difficulty.

What are some ways to extend or personalize the activity after making the star and belt?

Decorate the star with the child's name, stickers, or glitter, hang multiple stars at different heights to create a combo target course, or time rounds of five kicks to make a scoring drill before sharing the finished star and soft safety belt on DIY.org.
