My kids love to doodle with oil pastels and crayons, though they are not a gifted artist but I love all the scribbles and drawings they have created. Looking at them fighting over the same piece of oil pastel gave me the idea to make some multicolored star-shaped pastels, so they can just pick a star and doodle with many colors.</p>
<p>As I cut and fill the pastels into the mold, it creates lots of waste debris on my table, very small and can hardly pick up by hand. So, I collect them and pour into one of the molds. Surprisingly, it turns into a star <span id="more-16306"></span>dust with all the colors I have used. One glide at the tip will give stripes of colors, my daughter shouted out: &#8220;Mommy, it is like a rainbow! So beautiful!&#8221;</p>

<p>Kids will be kids, they just like to fight over the same thing. When I remold the star pastel, I kept in mind to make sure that 2 stars must be identical in color and shape. Even with all my hard-work to try to duplicate the twin-star pastel, they still fight, sigh&#8230;.. &#8220;Mom, I want that piece she is using, it has more red in it&#8221;, &#8220;Mom, not fair, my star is smaller&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;Mom, sister used my star&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;Mom&#8230;..&#8221; &#8230;&#8230; What can I say? Just love my kids the way they are&#8230; even sometimes they really made me steaming mad with all the mess and fights around. If you have kids like mine, welcome to my MOTHERHOOD&#8230;.</p>
