Kids' star charts
Have you used our great range of colourful star charts in your primary classroom? Each star chart design lets you add as many students as you want, or you can use different designs for separate groups of students. You can add as many spaces as you want as your students receive more stars throughout the year or term. Each design also comes with an A4 sheet of stars to cut out and stick onto the chart.
