1. Print or copy the kingdom visuals and descriptions on cardstock paper for each youth. Color and cut out, cutting inside borderlines on words and outside image lines.
2. Glue kingdom descriptions on the back of the matching kingdom.
3. Place a metal or button brad through holes to attach the moon and stars to the sun. To make button brad, sew two (two-hole) buttons together on opposite sides, threading thread through the same hole to attach kingdom pieces.
