Summer Craft - Stars

Back from vacation and left to our own devices to entertain ourselves, we decided that Fridays would be our "theme craft day". The kids picked stars as our first theme, so we read about stars online, had a special star-shaped lunch, made some star decorations for the front door (similar to this one, just cut different sizes and colors and stack them), made and ate star-shaped cookies, and plan to go out and look at the stars tonight after dark. My mom used to take us out to stargaze when we were little and I have so many fond memories of it; I can't wait to create similar memories with my own kids.
