My boys love Space!

We created our very own Universe.

I am a HUGE fan of art that has several different layers to it like this one.

I think it really gives children a chance to be imaginative and create exactly what they want to.

After we finished this project my 6 yr old said, Can we make this again tomorrow?

That is how much they loved it!

This is how we created this cool project.

Materials you will need:

Directions:

1.

Spray paint onto black cardstock paper

Spray a couple sprays onto your black sheet of paper.

This creates that Galaxy look to your picture.

Let the paint dry completely.

It was sunny outside so it only took like 10 minutes to dry.

It really only takes a couple light sprays.

Ours looked liked this after spraying.

These are Planets so we didnt want them all to be the same size.

Cut out circles and glue onto black cardstock

Cut out the circles and glue them onto your black paper.

Add details to planets

Add whatever details youd like to your Planets with crayons and glitter glue.

My boys loved using the glitter glue for a ring around a Planet.

My son suggested we make shooting stars.

He even came up with the idea to add the gold star on the end of the tail.

He is a Genius, I know!

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.
