Watercolor I Like Stars...

Need:

• White Cardstock or construction paper
• Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Crayons
• Watered down black paint

To Make:

• Take your construction paper/cardstock and draw stars on it using your crayons. (My Lo helped, she drew a red butterfly and moon. She said, "the moon was a great full moon!" )
• Give the starred paper to your LO along with the cup of watered down black paint and let them paint.

• The stars will pop through the paint and it will look like the last page of the I Like Stars book.

Clothespin Stars Game...

Need:

• clothespins
• markers
• posterboard or laminated stars
  

To Make:

• cut out stars out of white posterboard or construction paper (if using construction paper, laminate for sturdy stars)
• Color your posterboard stars and clothespins (each star gets a clothespin)

To Play:

• Lay the stars out on to the floor
• Placed colored the clothespins in a bag
• Let LO pull out a clothespin and clip it to the matching star!
• **for added fun you can do each point on the star gets that colored of clothespins if you have enough to go around!**
