For this activity, you’ll need construction paper or light cardboard, pencils, paper punch, needle or awl, and a light source.

  • Look up some of the stories behind real life constellations and read about them.
  • Go outside at night and discover constellations you’ve read about.
  • Tell a story about your own constellation.
