What you’ll need:
-wide mouth jar – The jar needs to be wide enough to fit the small click light inside
-disposable cake pan (for younger kids, try using black paper)
- small click light
-awl
- scissors
-spoon
-silver pen (optinal)
Cut a strip of the cake pan long enough to fit around inside the jar and tall enough to reach to the very top of the jar. Use a spoon to brandish out any writing or crinkled parts. Use the awl to poke holes for the constellations. You can then conect the dots with a silver sharpie afterwards. Fill in the other space with more holes. Make the holes smaller than the ones used to make the constellations because it will set the constellations apart. Roll the aluminum sheet until it fits snug inside the jar. Hold the circle in place by cutting two tabs and folding them in opposite directions. Put the encircled aluminum sheet inside the jar. Turn the click light on and place the it inside. Top with the lid.
