Dim the lights and the living room becomes an observatory. Children stick stars on dark paper and connect them into constellations they name themselves, twist colored dough into swirling planets to take home, and search the room for the eight planet cards. The lemonade turns from blue to violet as they pour it.

Three guided experiences

  • Constellation CraftersStar stickers and chalk pens on dark cardstock, guided by constellation cards or a guest's own imagination.
  • Galaxy Dough LabStore-bought or homemade dough in blue, purple and black, twisted into marbled galaxies and rolled into planets to take home. The recipe is in the playbook.
  • Planet Scavenger HuntEight illustrated planet cards hidden around the room, with something to wonder about on the back of each.

On the menu

  • Color-Changing Galaxy Lemonade
  • No-Bake Moon Rock Chocolates
  • Planet fruit skewers
  • A constellation snack board

Bonus extras

Constellation cards, planet hunt cards, solar system coloring pages, party garland and patterned paper.
