Take a Walk & Look at the Night Sky

A warm, clear summer night is a great time to take a walk with your child to observe the night sky. Study the constellations—which ones can you identify? Together, make up some constellations of your own by looking for shapes in the stars and tracing the lines between them with your fingers.

Help your child research online or in a book to find the fascinating stories of how each constellation got its name.

If you make these night-sky walks a regular part of your family life, you and your child will be able to see how the positions of the constellations change as the year goes on.
