FREE PRINTABLE STAR CONSTILATIONS CHARTS FOR KIDS FREE

Science-minded kiddos can draw the constellation, and add in other nearby stars (use a star map for reference) and then write about when and where that constellation can be seen. They can either write the historical story, or make up their own. You can have your child illustrate a story for the constellation, and then write their own. You can use these pages in a couple ways. I told them a few of the stories, and then I handed them the picture cards, and let them see if they could match the constellations they had built to the pictures they represented.Īfter that, I handed out the notebooking pages I made. Once they had finished building, I pulled out our book on constellations, and we talked about how many years ago, people would look to the stars, see pictures, and tell stories. Then, using the side of the card with just the stars, I had the kids build the constellations on the wall to match the cards. You can do them front to back if you’d like, but after I did that, I regretted not leaving them separate so we could play memory with them. I printed off the flashcards for the kids first.

Nope, I insisted we learn about constellations first!įor this lesson, all you’ll need is a pack of stars, some “stick-em” and our free printable. I am too type-A to let my (poor) children just stick the stars haphazardly on the walls. NOTE: This article was written by Heather–the previous owner of Only Passionate Curiosity.

When I started planning our space unit, the same stars were the first thing to make their way into my shopping cart. I was just sure I was going to grow up to be an astronaut (more on why I am *not* one coming in a later post- I know you are on the edge of your seats for that story!). We love going outside late at night and observing the stars in the sky. When I was a kid, I had these awesome glow-in-the-dark stars all over my room.
