King Vishtaspa Banner

King Vishtaspa, Queen Hutaosha, and the King's minister, Jamaspa, were among Zarathushtra's first followers. They were Zarathushtra's good friends and helped him spread his Diving Message.

Here we are going to make a banner showing King Vishtaspa, his queen and his minister.

1. Large red cardboard (you can choose any color you like)

2. Blue, green, pink, yellow, and brown (or any other color you want) construction paper

3. White construction paper or thin cardboard

4. Gold ribbons and sequins

5. Glue

6. Pencil

7. Yarn in three different hair colors

8. Black and red markers

9. Hole punch or sharp object

10. String or piece of yarn

11. Scissors

12. Jar lid

With the help of a jar lid draw three circles on the white construction paper.

Cut them out.

Glue the circles on the red cardboard to make the heads.

Draw three trapezoids on the green, blue, and pink construction papers to make the bodies.

Cut them out.

Glue them to the red cardboard under the heads.

Draw three different crowns on the construction papers and cut them out.

Glue the crowns on the heads.

Cut up bits of yarn for the hair and beards and glue them in place.

Glue the gold ribbons and sequins on the robes.

Draw the eyes, noses and lips with the markers.

Ask an adult to help you punch two holes on the red cardboard.

Pass the yarn or the string through the holes and knot the ends.

Now you have a King Vishtaspa banner to hang on your wall.
