Alphabet Constellations


alphabet craft

Look in each telescope and name the letter constellation that you see! 

letter crafts

These are so fun to explore with and so easy to make! 

learning letters

Materials: 
toilet taper tubes
black or dark blue construction paper
rubber bands
pin

letter crafts

Make Your Own: 
  • Tightly wrap the top of each toilet paper tube with a piece of construction paper (approximately 7"x9"). 
  • Secure the paper with a rubber band. 
  • Use a pin to poke holes in letter formations. Don't forget that many of the letters will need to be formed backwards so that they are the right way when you look into the telescope. 
  • For older children, write the letter on the paper and let them poke the paper along the lines. (Similar to our Holes in the Alphabet activity.)
  • Decorate your telescopes.

  2. I love this activity and my sons would too. It's perfect for kids working on letter recognition! I'd love it if you'd link this up to the After School Linky Party on my blog right now (and every Monday): deceptivelyeducational.blogspot.com. I hope you'll make the party a regular stop in your weekly blog surfing!
