How to Attach Glow Stars to the Ceiling From Strings

Most children would love to fall asleep under the gentle glow of starlight. Camping in the backyard is one option, but it’s easy to bring the starlight inside. You can find plastic glow-in-the-dark stars in many discount stores. Once light activates the stars, their greenish glow lasts for several hours after dark. Your children can drift off to dreams of space travel and astronauts under their own starry sky.
