Read the book How Big is A Million? together. Be sure to check out the big poster at the back and use it to show how many stars a million really is!
Download and print our free mini poster.
Glue the poster onto a piece of black construction paper.
Using the pen or a thumbtack, poke a “million” holes into the paper. This works best if you put the paper over your carpet or a rug or a bulletin board.
Once you’re done, hold your poster up to the window to reveal a “million” tiny stars!
