Who this list is for
This constellation dice game craft list is for a nine-year-old making a simple tabletop game about matching star patterns. It uses dice, cards, pawns, and cubes, but it is not a memory-match game.
How to use this list
Begin with the foldable poster board as the game base. Use the ruler to mark play areas, then cut black cardstock into constellation cards or board spaces with child-safe scissors. Copy patterns from the constellation reference cards using white dot stickers, a fine-tip white paint pen, and a silver gel pen. Add the two number dice, four wooden game pawns, and 20 small wooden cubes as game pieces. Use glue sticks to attach the final cardstock pieces to the board.
Common mistakes
Do not make pairs of hidden cards for a memory game; this project is about matching patterns through tabletop play with dice and cards. Keep the white dot stickers on their backing until the constellation layout is planned. Do not glue over spaces where pawns, dice, or cubes need room to move.

Cross off supplies you already own.
