A constellation is a group of stars that can be joined together to form a shape or picture. Many ancient cultures around the world often created stories about the shapes they could see in the night sky.
Have a go at creating a tasty constellation using ingredients you can find in a kitchen. You can recreate a real constellation or create one of your own!
By the end of this activity you will:
- have thought about the pictures humans created in the night sky
- have made your very own edible constellation
- have a tasty treat!
To complete this activity you will need:
- a base - like a biscuit or cracker
- chocolate or cheese spread (or alternatives)
- white chocolate chips, sweets, small pieces of fruit/vegetables, or seeds like sunflower or pumpkin - these will be your stars!
- a butter knife (or something else you can spread with)
- a cloth or napkin in case things get messy!
