Instructions:

1. We read a book about constellations and showed a few examples of what constellations looked like. We talked about how constellations are pictures in the sky made out of stars.

2. Let your child use the white crayon to draw a picture.

3. Add star stickers to make your constellation.

4. Some children chose to put the star stickers on first, and then connect them with lines afterwards. Either way works!
