This fun space shuttle paper craft is a great summer craft for kids or for school to accompany a solar system unit. The space shuttle wing popping off the page gives this paper craft a fun 3D effect to it. The space shuttle craft would look great up on display on a classroom bulletin board with a blasting off theme.

This gorgeous black glue kite art project is a perfect compliment to a family afternoon of flying kites at the park on a windy day. It is also a fun art project to make this summer when you are indoors and want to avoid the afternoon heat. Pretty kite craft and summer art project.
