Project Stars & Clouds On A Ceiling

Teach your kids about astronomy.


If your children have a natural curiosity and interest in the night sky, you can foster that creativity and love of science by projecting stars and clouds on the ceilings of their bedrooms. With a star projector, you can enjoy the night sky without ever going outside. These projectors are designed to fill the ceiling, and the walls as well if you wish, with an ever-changing display of stars, clouds and other objects.


Instructions


1. Clear out a spot in the middle of the room. The projection will look better and cover more of the ceiling if the projector is placed in the center of the room.


2. Place the star projector on a table, a desk or simply put it on the floor. Open the projector and insert the photograph you want to use. You can use the assorted photographs that came with the projector, or you can use ones that you took yourself or found online.


3. Plug the projector in and turn it on. Wait for the photographs you inserted to be projected on the ceiling.


4. Dim the lights in the room. The darker the room the more visible the projected stars and clouds will be.
