All those stars in the sky make up a recognizable object or creature. Every time a key is pressed or the mouse is clicked, a line is drawn between two or more stars. Pretty quickly the constellation turns into someone - or something - very familiar! When the last line has been drawn, the picture fills with color and delightfully animates. Developmental benefits include building the attention span and visual tracking skills while helping the child perceive shapes and part-whole relationships. Also increases visual understanding of action-object relationships, and builds language reception and comprehension.
