    Activity Set: Stars

    Introduction to Stars:

    Begin with a brief discussion about stars. Show pictures of stars and simple constellations. Explain that stars are bright points of light in the night sky.
    Sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” together to get the children excited about the activity

    Creating their own constellations:

    Show the children simple constellation cards and explain that constellations are patterns of stars in the sky. Give children some star stickers and some paper/card. Using silver or white crayons and markers, help the children connect some of the star stickers on their paper to form their own constellations. They can use the constellation cards as a guide or create their own patterns.

    OR

    Give the children a cut out template of a star, (made from card or harder cardboard that they painted the day before) some string and star stickers. The children can stick the stickers onto the string and they can weave the string around the star template creating their own constellation pattern or copy one from the constellation cards. This also incorporated fine motor skills.
