Very basic and simple. Give every child a piece of black construction paper, along with glow in the dark paint or stickers, and instruct child on where to place or paint the planets. When finished let child paint or stick stars on paper. Using glow in the dark paint is alot more enjoyable and gives the child more sense of accomplishment. Also its neat for the child to take home for the refridgerator or bedroom wall and watch it glow when the lights are out.
