Measure the length of the tube. Cut the black construction paper to that same length or a wee bit longer. Cut the paper into a width that fits around the paper roll and overlaps by at least 1/2 inch. Put the black paper piece around the tube and secure it with the elastic band.

Give one tube (with paper around it) to each child. Have them take the rolls of crepe streamer and roll out an arms stretched out length of streamer. Cut it off and set it aside. Do this five times using a variety of colours.

Glue all around one end of the tube. Place one end of the streamer pieces on the end of the tube (with the main length of the streamer facing away from the tube), overlapping by about half a streamer as you go. Add more glue if necessary.

Glue all around the edges of the black paper. Align it to one end of the tube. Wrap it around the tube and push on it to secure it in place.

Color the black paper with chalk to look like Northern Lights.

Now comes the fun part. Run around waving the streamer. The different colours look like Northern Lights waving behind (or beside) you. Have fun!
