  • Read about creation, how God made
    stars in the sky.  Check out the verse
1 Corinthians 15:41.
Children love to look and the stars and connect the dots.  After learning all
about the beautiful stars in the sky, encourage children to get creative and
make their own constellations.  
Using your white crayon, press firmly on your
paper to make stars.  Make them in any size
and shape that you like.
Step 2
When you're finished, paint over the sheet
with black watercolor.  The stars will begin
to show up.
All Done!
Use a crayon to connect the dots.  What did
you see?  Have fun making pictures, or even
surprise constellations for your family to
reveal.
Step 3
Once the stars show up, try to find a picture
you can make with them.
Scientists use
telescopes and
satellites to study
your eyes to see.

curious child's
mind!
