Does anyone know of a "proven" method for drying sea stars for presentation / use for classroom education?

Thanks,
Pete :dazzler1:
 
Assuming it's already dead...

1. Place starfish in alcohol bath. A week is good.
2. Remove and let air dry.

Tadah! Dried Starfish. Only problem with alcohol is that it tends to bleach out colors.
