Star Gazing Tent

I picked up a tent that had been abandoned in a rubbish pile at the end of the festival as it had a small tear in the top.

I cut off the roof and decorated the side with a permanent marker pen and some glow-in-the-dark paint.

All we need now is to wait for a beautifully clear sky night and fill it with blankies and cushions for a bit of star gazing.

Constellation Jar

We made a constellation jar by painting a jar black and then scraping off the moon and stars.

Constellation Cards

We made some constellation identification cards. We made holes in them so we could help ourselves learn the star patterns by threading them with string.

Space Tea Party

We glued and stuck and collected all sorts of yummies and boarded our rocket to cruise in the stars. When we came back down to earth we gazed back at the solar system through our telescope before finally settling back down on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn and a space film.
