Sparkling Constellation

Seeing stars? Design your favorite constellation in a Crayola Color Explosion™ sky!

1. Use the color-reveal markers to make dots on your Color Explosion paper to represent stars in a real or imaginary constellation.

2. Connect the dots with the color-reveal markers to reveal the shape you created with stars. Write the name of the star formation. Add space-inspired pictures in the background.

3. Make the stars sparkle by covering the dots with Crayola Glitter Glue. Allow to dry.The sky is the limit to your outer-space creativity!
