Instructions

  1. Building the frame: Each child collects four tree branches and four stones, ensuring they are paired in equal sizes to form a frame. The branches are tied together with rope to construct it.
  2. Daytime exploration: During the day, children search for natural images that could become their “painting” within the frame.
  3. Nighttime constellations: At night, they turn the frame toward the sky and “invite” stars to enter their frame, imagining and inventing a new constellation.
  4. Recreating the constellation:
    • Using the stones collected earlier, they recreate the constellation on a black sheet.
    • Each stone represents a star and is connected with wool threads to match the framed constellation.
  5. Morning earth exploration: The next day, children search for their invented constellation in nature, using plants, flowers, or other natural elements to recreate the shape within their frame.
