Separate decoration from the route

Observe planet circles, star points and a rocket’s long body, while locating the start and finish separately. Theme details can surround the route; follow the passages rather than using part of the illustration as a shortcut.

After the activity

Sort words into celestial objects and human-made objects; a rocket belongs in the second group. Distinguish objects seen in the sky from vehicles and instruments used to explore it.

Backtrack to the last decision

If you reach a dead end, return to the last junction and try another branch. A pencil lets you correct your route without obscuring the passages. When finished, follow your line from start to finish to check that it does not jump over a wall.
