Glow In the Dark Constellations

Glow in the dark constellations set by Moulin Roty. This matchbox contains 30 glow-in-the-dark stars and adhesive pads so you can stick them to a bedroom wall or ceiling. There are also 10 beautifully illustrated constellation cards, so you can recreate them or simply learn how to recognise them in the night sky. Is it Andromeda, Pegasus, Orion or the Big Dipper?

Here are a few helpful tips on locating stars in the night sky:

Using your compass find where is North and look up. If it is Spring time, the Big Dipper will be higher in the sky than in any other seasons. You can look up the Big Deeper’s shape in the constellations cards that come with the set.  You will note that there are three stars in the Big Dipper’s handle forming a line. There are 7 stars that make up this constellation – Alkaid, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, Dubhe. How fun are these star names, perhaps you can name a star of your own?
