Constellation Cards
These Constellation Cards can be printed and enjoyed over and over again with your family. They will be available free-of-charge throughout the summer. The cards are a great way to encourage your kids in their love of the stars. There are many uses for children (and adults!) of all ages. See this post for ideas on how to use them.
Sky Maps
Stargazing Diary
Help your kids to establish a record of their night sky viewing with this Stargazing Diary. Each page includes space for your child to draw what they see, as well as writing prompts to encourage discussion and imagination. It’s never too early to encourage your little astronomer!
You may print our activities for your own personal, non-commercial use. Our printables may not be hosted on any other web site, blog, forum, etc.
Thanks very much for an easy to use site with great tools. My cub scout den will love these tonight.
I’m so glad– My son is a cub scout and I love that they have an astronomy requirement!
Love it!! Thanks so much for proving an educational activity that our kids will go crazy for!
I meant providing- thank goodness I’m not the teacher;)
Really nice website, easy to use and nice to have free printables.
Thank you soooo much for offering such a wonderful resource for us new Star Gazers! Its a bit overwhelming when you seriously began to explore what you have seen all your life. We just purchased a telescope for our daughter and have been looking for hands on activities for her besides books. Thank you for the swell free printables, especially the diary ( my daughter loves to draw 🙂 Your creative resources as well as commitment to involving and sharing with families is truly appreciated. We’re looking forward to spending lots of time on your website learning all we can about the Heavens~
Thank you for the feedback! I’m so glad that you’ve found some helpful resources 🙂

Thank you for the printables – this will be so helpful! When I followed the link for the Winter Sky Map for Kids, it pulled up the same map as the Spring Sky Map (labeled Spring Night Sky). Are they meant to be the same? Do you have a Winter Sky Map for Kids that is someplace else? I don’t mean to sound picky, it’s just that you have provided such a great resource and I’d like to be able to use this when teaching. Thanks!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I just updated the link.
Thank you so much for this great resource! I’m going to use it with my son during our camping trip to earn his astronomy badge for cub scouts!
Hi there. Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a Brownie leader in South Africa. We will use these ideas to do the Star Gazer badge. Do you know where I can get sky maps like yours for the Southern Hemisphere?
Thank you for this. It was really helpful when I discussed my topic about constellations.
Thank you for the great free resources!
