Constellation Viewer
Kids transform into mini Astronomers! 2 freebies from Austin Kids (edit: this site is down) and Girl Start (both featured above). Punch (make holes) the templates and stick the printable cards over a flashlight, turn off the lights, and go stargazing indoors! Update: here is another link for a free printable of constellation templates from Playground Park Bench!
Also, check out Moon Phase Viewer and Cloud Viewer!
