Now form planets on a dish or pan with a lip.
How to scale you get your planets is up to you depending on the age of your child.

On the plus side, it uses less food dye.
We tried it both ways.
Solar System Planets Project
Dont the planets look so pretty all in a line.
The colors and sizes came out super cute!
It is hard to tell that they are made of a base baking soda.
They could just as easily have been made of playdough, paper mache, craft foam, etc.
But now is when the fun begins!
Remember to have your planets on a surface with a lip so the melted planet doesnt run everywhere!
