Make a nighttime sky including a paper moon and stars with a few basic craft materials. Cut a white paper plate in half and draw a face in profile to represent the man in the moon. Trace the shape of stars onto aluminum foil and cut them out. Make your stars different sizes for a more realistic effect. Glue the moon and stars on several pieces of dark blue construction paper. Using cotton batting, pull the pieces very thin and swirl them around and throughout the stars to form a galaxy. Attach the cotton with small drops of glue. Tape the construction paper on the ceiling over your child's bed for a fantasy nighttime sky.
Have your child paint a picture of her house, yard and flowers on a dark piece of construction paper with day-glow paints. Add glow-in-the-dark stickers of the moon and stars in the sky area. Hang the picture on the bedroom wall where your child can see it after dark, when the lights go out.
Paint a picture of the house on a piece of dark blue construction paper with regular tempra or water-based paint. Have your child include stars painted yellow and a moon painted off-white or light gray. Allow the paint to fully dry. After drying, paint glue with a small brush onto the stars and moon. Sprinkle gold glitter on the stars and silver glitter on the moon. Shake off the extra glitter and hang the picture on your child's wall.
Make a hanging mobile with florist's wire and paper cutouts of the moon and stars. Using a piece of poster board, cut star and moon shapes for your mobile. Spray paint the stars with gold paint and the moon with white or silver paint and allow to dry. Attach the cutouts by punching a small hole in the end of each and threading the end of the florist wire through each hole. Bend the wire and twist to hold in place. Curve the wires and suspend them from an invisible piece of fishing thread.
