Star Stories

Does your child know there is a dragon in the northern sky? Can he or she find the beautiful princess or the brave hunter? Turn off the TV and let the stars entertain your child! Young stargazers will love the stories in the stars, especially when they can find those stars on a map and in the sky. Students will make their own glow-in-the-dark constellations to take home!
