Model Clay Planets
Mix two colors of model clay together. Stop mixing when you get a marbled look. For texture, poke and shape the surface with a craft stick, plastic fork or pencil.
Star or planet sun catcher
Form a pipe cleaner stick into a star or planet. Press it flat on a piece of parchment paper or plastic. Pour some white glue into a paper cup and add a few drops of paint. Mix with a craft stick. Pour the mixture into the form and sprinkle some glitter on it. Let it dry clear at least 24 hours. Gently pull the form from the paper or plastic and attach a ribbon or yarn to make a hanger.
Constellation art
Place star stickers on a piece of black paper. Have children connect the stars with a white crayon to make their own constellation. What does it look like. Give your constellation a name. |

Space Facts
Astronauts
Astronauts travel to space to collect information for scientist to study. Astronauts sometimes also have to fix spacecrafts once there are in space. Living in space is very different from living on Earth. Here on Earth we are surrounded by air, but there is no air in space, that’s why astronauts need to wear spacesuits and helmets. Also in space nothing has weight and you need to wear a spacesuit to go outside the spaceship.(Craft: Astronaut Helmet)
The Space suit
Space suits are very bulky and very thick. There protect us from the sun’s heat and the cold. The spacesuit has a backpack that contains air to breath. The helmet has a dark visor to shield the astronaut from the sun’s glare. The space shoes are heavy to the help to astronaut to walk on the moon. (Make our sponge space shoes)
Living in Space
Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags that hold them down, so that they do not float away while there sleeping. Eating and drinking is tricky in space. You can’t drink from a cup, because liquid won’t stay and would float around. Astronauts drink through a straw from a plastic pack and space food is sticky so it sticks to the plates. (Snack idea: Make some space drinks using plastic bags and drinking straws.)
Satellites
Satellites are spacecrafts that we have sent to space to collect information from a planet and radio them back to Earth. We also use satellites to beam information and TV programs around the world.
Rockets
We use rockets to carry astronauts and things into space. Rockets are the only engines that can give enough power and speed to get the spacecraft into space. The fuel burning in the engine rushes out of the nozzle and pushes the rocket forward. Just like if you blow a wrapper from a straw. (See our straw rocket activity to explain and experience the science behind it)
The Space Shuttle
The space shuttle can lift off into space just like a rocket and then come back to Earth like a huge glider. When the shuttle returns to Earth through the atmosphere it gets very hot. Special tiles protect the spaceship from the heat so it doesn’t burn up and can be used again for the next space flight. (Craft: Make a shuttle glider)
