This is a super easy craft to make that with a little imagination can be lots of fun!  Once you make this fun telescope, use it to play a game of clue and search for things in the house by looking through it.  Another fun idea is to play spy with it.  If it’s a nice starry night take it outside and see what you can find in the night sky!

Supplies:

• Construction Paper
• Tape
• Crayons

Steps:

1. Have your child roll the paper  so that they can see through it.
2. Tape it together.
3. If they want they can decorate it with some crayons.

Have fun!

Steps:

1. Pick out some fun gems to put on the glasses
