09.08.2019

Greetings to all readers and guests of the blog. Today I again invite you to turn on your creative abilities and do needlework. After all, a very interesting and exciting holiday is on the nose - Cosmonautics Day. And this means that children's institutions are already fully preparing for the meeting of this event.

And of course, they give tasks for joint creativity, as they organize annual competitions on space topics. Therefore, we have prepared a special edition for you!! We will make neither flowers nor anything with you, but rockets, planets, flying saucers and much more.

I’ll make a reservation right away that I take all the ideas for the work from the open access of the Internet. But I select from them the most creative, cool and accessible in terms of material, as well as for different ages. So read to the end, it will be interesting!!

Of course, at all times, an application is always considered to be in demand, and it can be made not only from paper and cardboard, but also from fabric, cereals.

It will be cool to do modeling and make such voluminous planets. Moreover, to create them, you can use balls of different diameters and from different materials, and then just paint them. Or mold from plasticine or salt dough.

Volumetric postcards made of paper, corrugation or fabric also look cool.

You can make such a symbolic picture. Take a black background, glue a blue ball and decorate the rest of the elements with rhinestones.

Here's another great version of salt dough. Looks very nice and bright.

But look what can be done from felt. And we do without sewing!!

How do you like these funny space freaks, which are put in a regular box, sealed with a blue background and decorated with stars?

A cool option, made from different improvised materials.

Paper three-dimensional postcard in the style of a baby book.

And how do you like such a flying saucer made of disk and beads?! Looks very impressive, doesn't it??

Everything here is molded from plasticine, by the way, you can do it as a team work.

You can, in principle, not bother, and take and draw, and then put it in a frame and you're done !!

And if, on the contrary, you want to surprise everyone, and there is time left, then make pasta souvenirs. We considered this technique when we did it.

As you can see, there is always a choice, the main thing is not to be lazy!!

Space crafts from colored paper and cardboard for kindergarten

And now I want to invite you to make a very simple flying saucer. We will make it from ordinary paper plates, if there are none, you can use plastic or cardboard.

You will need: two paper plates, pencils, markers, paints, glue, brush.

Work process:

1. Take the plates and paint them in any color. You can immediately take colored plates.

2. After the paint has dried, draw patterns on them with a pencil.

3. Color them with a marker or paints.

4. Then glue them together. Complete the composition with an alien from plasticine.

You see how easy and fast everything is, and most importantly, that such work is within the power of kids.

And I also picked up a couple of options from the most favorite materials for creativity (paper and cardboard). Look, choose and show your children, let them make them.

A simple cone astronaut!

This work can be done not only from cardboard, but also from felt. And I love the photo idea.

Naturally, do not forget about the application, prepare templates, cut and glue.

You can also use the origami technique.

Here the option is more complicated, since it requires small work and knowledge in the quilling technique.

We make souvenirs from felt

And now we will sew a green alien with you. Many people will definitely like this craft.

You will need: green, blue and black felt, green, black and white sewing threads, gold beads No. 10, foam rubber or cotton wool, sewing needle, marker, glue.

Work process:

1. First prepare the templates and then transfer them to the fabric.

2. Then, following the step-by-step instructions below, sew the weirdo.

Let's see what else you can create from this wonderful material, referred to as felt:

The easiest thing to do is to cut out the silhouettes, then glue them onto the background.

For older guys, and for those who sew well, of course, voluminous crafts will be advantageous:

The last work, of course, will require the help of adults.

What crafts can be made on the theme of space to school?

Now let's see what we can offer older guys. You can choose the options that we have discussed above, or you can also think and choose from the following.

The image of space is always relevant. Take an empty box, make a background of paints, glue paper stars. Blind the planets and hang them on strings.

Great team work. Make origami rockets and glue them on.

Salt Dough Option!!

And look what a healthy use of egg molds !!

What do you think of the light bulb idea?

Well, everything is simple here, schoolchildren can easily cope with such a postcard.

Using a plastic bottle and plasticine.

Here is a whole cosmic composition, a great idea for creativity.

And here are the plasticine masterpieces:

Crafts for Cosmonautics Day from bottles

Cool and original products by April 12 can be works from ordinary plastic bottles, just look at these souvenirs:

Alternatively, you can use not a whole bottle, but only the neck, and add an egg from Kinder Surprise.

And I suggest you watch a video plot from which you will learn how easy and beautiful it is to make a space satellite.

Master class on making a rocket from waste material

A popular craft for this holiday is a rocket. Well, let's see how you can make it. I found a good instruction on the Maam.ru website. This option seemed cool to me, since everything is made from simple materials and anyone can do it.

You will need: toilet sleeve, colored cardboard or paper, scissors, glue, pencil.

Work process:

1. Cut out a large circle from thick paper or cardboard. Cut out a small triangle from it.

2. Twist into a cone and glue with glue. Then make small cuts around the entire circumference.

3. Glue on the sleeve.

4. Cut out small circles and glue them too, imitating a porthole.

5. Make notches on both sides of the sleeve.

7. Insert this strip into the prepared slots. The rocket is ready to fly!!

This is how easy and quick this souvenir is made. Did you like it?!!

Hello dear subscribers and guests of the blog!

I imagine I completely forgot that in April there is another world holiday, which is always celebrated on the same day on April 12 - this is Cosmonautics Day. How can you forget about this.

I decided to improve right now and present to your attention a collection of original and unique crafts that you can do at home with your children and bring to a competition or exhibition. Ideas will range from simple to complex so you can choose. After all, someone's children are already adults and go to school, while someone else has very little ones - they go to kindergarten.

I think that everything is clear here anyway, the most important symbol of this holiday will be a rocket, because it was on it that the world's first ejection into space was carried out by Yuri Gagarin, if you have not forgotten.

Yes, by the way, we also do not forget that Easter is ahead, and for it I have already given all kinds of s, remember? Well, do not forget that in May. Wow, cool, like a whole petition.

Perhaps I'll start with the most common and you guessed it, the popular option is a rocket. You can make it yourself from what you always have at hand.

To do this, you can first take a toilet roll, if you don’t have one, then you can twist the cardboard and glue the sleeve.

The stages of work will be such that they are not at all complicated, but on the contrary, using these pictures, you can easily create this unique little thing.

To prevent the rocket from falling, it is necessary to make a support, that is, a stand and fix it on it.

You can create such a huge charm. The kids are about to take flight.

Well, or many of them.

From ordinary plastic bottles, this is what happened.

Here's another charm, the child himself did, pasted over with newspapers.

You can also build a flying saucer.

What will you make it from? Choose from what I found on the Internet, or write below under the article what else you can create from.

From CD disks, as well as decorate with beads and rhinestones, chenille wire.

The legs can be made from wooden sticks or skewers, and beads can be glued down.

Ha, the hands of the staples are done.

Healthy models, you can send them directly to the exhibition.

Plastic cups also went here, it turned out to be a cabin.

Such a space base came out of plasticine and matches.

It looks cool, the main thing is that you can do it quickly and easily, without spending a lot of money and investments.

And if you are tired of everything primitive, then do something creative and your own.

But that's not all, you can make any planet in the solar system, how do you like this idea, see how this is made from papier-mâché.

Or maybe depict all the planets using modeling dough or take ordinary colored plasticine. Twist into flagella, and then, like straws and into a ball.

They don't have enough Martians. Wow, what weirdos came out from the authors, take a look. And the material is an ordinary egg from a kinder surprise, or rather its box.

What a puffy eye, and the legs are made of wire and bottle caps.

Space craft ideas for kindergarten

We have come to the next stage, I will show you what can be done with our beloved kids. Put them in a circle and start doing the following with them, you will need paper, or rather square sheets.

The result will be such that you will definitely like it, and the children will definitely like it.

Everyone loves origami. What could be easier? So, fold the square sheet in half lengthwise.

To this fold line, again begin to make folds on both sides.

Now bend like this, as shown here.

The next step, you have to cut off all the excess.

Start folding like an envelope.

Then, subsequently, two triangular parts will already be visible. Follow further instructions.

Also, do not forget that you can use plasticine here, roll up small balls from it and fashion it.

Draw or print an astronaut and a rocket for example.

And start painting. This develops not only perseverance, but also attentiveness.

You can roll even more. Or paint pumpkin seeds and stick here, but this is already under the control of adults and at home with their parents.

Or very large lumps in the form of the planets of the entire solar system. Foam rubber was used here.

Here is such a simple model and diagram of a flying object. You can use it further for its intended purpose, for example, for applications, etc.

See how great it can look on a regular sheet of paper.

Here are some other modes of transport with stars.

Also, from colored paper, you can make an unusual craft for a skyscraper.

It is possible to add to this option also little men, inhabitants.

Or make your child a pilot, he will definitely be delighted. Here again, children's hands have adapted with you.

Or the joint work of a group or class with children's photos of children.

You can also take a ready-made template and cut it out, and preschoolers will draw up these details on an A4 sheet.

It all depends on you and your imagination.

Why not, make such a handout for everyone.

Also a super cool idea was to create an astronaut from Kinder Surprise.

A video clip will help you with this, if you want to make something new with your wards.

The simplest work About space from paper and cardboard

Do not forget that you can take any coloring book and paint it with felt-tip pens or watercolors, gouache.

Perhaps even such samples, someone will come in handy for their work.

Or use colored paper and cardboard.

I found works in the country of masters.

Here even Gagarin was portrayed.

Here is a sketch you can print and cut, then glue.

Don't forget to sign the product. It could be a stand newspaper.

Beautiful crafts about space to school

You will probably laugh, but I decided to find something unusual this time, and I found it. Of course, you can take any thought as a basis and add something to it from yourself. Or make a humanoid out of foil and napkins).

The master class will be from Konstantin Kobzik.

You can make a satellite of the Earth. In order to create it, I suggest you watch this video.

Well, or lay out a whole composition of waste material. For example, take a box and paint it in a suitable background.

Glue the stars from self-adhesive paper.

It will be a space object. Attach all other parts to it from plasticine.

Think of something else, like an airplane.

Arrange at your discretion.

You can make such a picture, you can’t do without your favorite cartoon characters. The product is made from molding dough.

You can also use corrugated cardboard and tin cans.

Here is the base.

Or such little men, like robots that live on the moon, lunatics).

Here is such an idea from round pasta.

Choose, here again plasticine.

The whole picture is molded from it.

It looks bright and stylish, your peers will definitely appreciate it.

Do not forget that you can also use the sun here, because it is also a planet.

There are many options, so choose and create!

Cool works from the country of Masters

Here I suggest you look at the pictures taken from this site, maybe this will give you a new idea.

The first thing I noticed was the work done in the style of modular origami. How are you?

Fast flight, woo!

Get out of the cereal, too, what the children have done, take a look.

Someone even managed to tie such a product.

Perform quilling technique.

Here are some more great ideas.

Space dish and aliens from junk material and polyurethane foam

Everything is used here, what you have at hand. Let's together think together what space masterpieces can be created from. That's right, from anything. Take a look, from ordinary shampoo, or rather bottle packaging, they made a race.

And next to it are aliens, uh aliens. In the course and paper plates went, you can take plastic ones.

Here are such chaldobeks. It turned out to be some kind of alien station, as you can see, there are disks and even pasta instead of hands, and the hair is made of straw.

Here are some more ideas from bottles and even adapted a bow.

Wow, eggshell.

The foil work, Belka and Strelka, also looks original, ha))).

Or look at the composition from the box and a bump instead of a launch device.

This one I also liked, made of fabric and buttons.

And I also saw such a watch, super option.

Have you ever tried making salt dough products?

If not, then this moment has come, watch this video from the YouTube channel and you will also succeed in such a charm.

You can certainly use another fabric, such as felt.

Cool crafts, look awesome attractive.

And here is a masterpiece made of polyurethane foam, it looks cool, an astronaut made of salt dough.

From the test it is generally fashionable to create a bunch of crafts.

The souvenir came out on order.

As well as from paper, it resembles a tunnel.

Children's cards on the theme of Space

First of all, I want to immediately offer you to make a postcard, but not simple, but voluminous. You need to choose a plot, if you like this one, as in this sample, then write and send it to you. So, you print it out and then color it with pencils or felt-tip pens.

But to make it look civil, you need to make a cover, fold it in half, and then glue the drawing to it.

Maybe you'll like this one.

Or use the miter method, it is also ideal for this purpose.

Cosmos has been exciting human consciousness for many centuries, beckoning with its grandeur and mystery. Children admire the vastness and beauty of the unknown, so they often want to recreate outer space in crafts and drawings. To do this, we have prepared several workshops on space-themed crafts that your child will definitely like.

Materials for products

To begin with, let's get acquainted with what you can make a "space" craft from.

Plasticine;
Polymer clay;
Disks;
Salty dough;
paper cardboard;
plastic bottle;
boxes;
Textile.

These are not all items that can be used to make crafts. Appearance, colors and list of materials are limitless, just like human imagination.

Rocket from plastic bottles

A realistic space rocket can be created from ordinary plastic bottles from milk and other drinks. To do this, prepare:

plastic bottles;
ball pump;
scotch;
acrylic or gouache;
cardboard;
water.

Let's start creating an interesting space craft:

Cut out a cone from cardboard to serve as the top of the rocket. Cut out some space technology blades. Tape the received elements to the bottle.
Decorate the rocket with gouache or acrylic paints. Draw the outer covering of the ship, a window, you can draw astronauts in the window.
Insert the pump needle into the cork of the product. If the hole does not match the size of the needle, add water before launching the rocket. Use the pump. Now your rocket can take off. Enjoy the spectacle with your child!

Flying saucer from disposable saucers

In order to create a flying saucer, prepare several disposable saucers of different depths. Here are some tips for making this easy craft:

Turn the plate upside down, and glue another plastic plate of a different depth on top; You can seal the plate with foil, so it will look even more unusual;
Paint the plates with silver paint. From above, you can draw various additional elements, such as stars, windows and aliens that live in a plate. You can make lanterns from buttons and rhinestones, which are located around the perimeter of the plate.
If desired, you can make a hole at the bottom of a deep plate (it will be the top of the transport for aliens), through which to push the thread. Next, tie the plate to the chandelier.

plasticine planets

In order to create the planets of the solar system from plasticine with your own hands, use the following instructions to create crafts on the theme of space.

Here is a detailed algorithm for creating planets:

Combine yellow, white and orange in one large plasticine ball. The ball must be of one color and not contain streaks of foreign colors.
Glue the sun to the center of the dark blue sheet. You can first draw small stars and overflows on the sheet.
Mix grey, brown and white in one small ball. Using a match or a toothpick, make holes on the ball, they will serve as craters. The little ball will represent Mercury, which is the smallest planet in the solar system.
From brown, black and gray, make Venus. One should be 2-3 times larger than Mercury. Draw the texture of the planet with wire.
Make our planet green, blue and white.
Make Mars out of orange, red and black.
Jupiter must be made from beige, brown and orange. The planet is quite large, so do not spare the material.
Blind beautiful Saturn. Don't forget to make the famous ring of the planet.
From blue and blue, make Uranus, which also has a ring.
Roll up a ball from blue plasticine, which will represent Neptune.
Roll white and gray into a small ball, symbolizing Pluto.

When finished creating the planet, attach the planets to the orbit in the correct order. In order to get acquainted with the correct order of the planets and original ideas for the background of crafts, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with photos of space crafts on the Internet.

Easy space crafts for kids from tin cans

From ordinary tin cans, which can certainly be found in every home, you can make interesting space inhabitants. Turn on your fantasy to the fullest and don't be afraid to experiment with the appearance of your alien.

First, prepare a tin can. Peel off the label.

You can leave the original silver finish on the jar, but you can paint the jar with acrylic, gouache, or spray paint if you wish.

Draw a mouth, eyes and ears on the jar. Make a hole in the sides of the tin into which straws or folded pieces of foil can be inserted so that they form handles.

The top of the alien's head can be covered with a metal washcloth, and bright straws can be placed on top. The result will definitely amuse you and your child.

Instead of the colored parts of the face, you can use bolts of different sizes for the eyes.

Conclusion

There are a great many options for creating space crafts that differ from each other in material, color and style. Do not be afraid to experiment with these parameters, and in this case, you will be able to create an original model of space objects.

Photo crafts space

Salute to all!

How are you, dear readers and guests of my blog? Did you manage to take a break from? I think it’s not stressful to make something and do it together with the kids. And now there is one holiday ahead - Cosmonautics Day. And it falls on April 12th. On the day when our Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin first flew into space.

Usually this is a boyish theme - space. They are very fond of inventing flying machines, saucers and rockets. But some girls are not far behind either. Still would! This is very exciting, and from junk and natural material you can make such works that they will win at any competition.

Let's see a selection of interesting ideas. Most likely, they will push you to interesting thoughts and sculpt your masterpieces. After all, fantasy is where to roam. The work can include planets, satellites, flying machines, UFOs, rockets and much more.

I note that I also draw ideas from the Internet, from its public sources. Basically, these are cool and original creations for kindergarten and elementary school kids. Plus, I can recommend excellent options for paper airplanes in the note https://mognotak.ru/kak-sdelat-samoletik-iz-bumag.html

Well, let's go! As Yuri Gagarin once aptly said).

Interesting ideas on the topic of space do it yourself

First, let's look at what can be done on this topic. For younger kids, it will be possible to make (not without the help of parents) such a layout from colored paper. It contains all the planets in our solar system. At the same time, of course, we teach the kids the names of the planets.

Application Solar System

You can make such applications from small plasticine balls. Only such compositions are better to draw first and even paint over with flowers. And then you can already roll up small balls and just stick.

After all, the truth is it possible to provide for the competition?

Squirrel in a rocket

We sculpt figurines of astronauts and a lunar rover from salt dough. Simple . This material is a pleasure to work with for several reasons:

it hardens quickly and can even be placed in the oven;
it is easy then to paint it with different colors with acrylic paints or gouache;
environmentally friendly, you can even swallow it))).

Russian cosmonauts and lunar rover

Simple paper rockets can be made by kids 4-5 years old. It turns out a simple kind of origami. And you can stick them on a dark blue background, which will personify outer space.

rockets in the universe

From toys, jars, tubes and plasticine, we will stick such funny aliens.

funny aliens

Another option for the competition in the technique of modular origami.

We turn on the fantasy and use everything: polystyrene foam, tree branches, foil, wire. Even bushings for making rockets will come in handy.

Gagarin in flight

Plasticine composition with saturn, stars, rocket and our green planet.

Milky Way

And some humor

Cat in a hat from the planets of our solar system

I hope that we have more or less chosen something for ourselves, what we will make and move on.

Simple crafts for kids in kindergarten for Cosmonautics Day

I propose with the kids to make a rocket from a sleeve (you can even use toilet paper) and colored paper. It turns out such a long and stable little thing that can be put on a blue background and next to the figure of an astronaut.

Add foil and you have a more realistic spacecraft.

Let's fold a spaceship out of paper. To do this simply according to the diagram below.

And here is the finished version. Color it however you like.

Or we will fold an unidentified flying machine out of thick paper. You can make several such gizmos and put them on the blue sky again.

Look at what colorful and at the same time original UFOs we get.

Let's use our favorite baby toy - plasticine. It is malleable, soft and sticks well to almost any surface.

Here are some applications you can do with it in disposable plates.

Saucers - open space

Oh, and we parted ways! We sculpt a cute alien. It will just look good next to a paper flying saucer.

funny alien

Don't want to fold paper? So let's blind her too, because there is a lot of plasticine!

When working with plasticine, the first thing to do is to explain to the children that this is an inedible material and you do not need to take it into your mouth.

Alien and flying saucer made of plasticine

Cosmic idea from paper and cardboard on April 12

Of components such as paper and cardboard, it is easiest to do work in kindergarten and school. Because they are always in every home. Also scissors and glue. If all this is available, then I propose to build such a composition from a flying spaceship, the sun and Saturn on a black background.

Required for work:

Cardboard with a black background, about 30 * 25 cm;
Toilet paper sleeve;
colored paper;
Foil gold and silver;
Semolina;
Scissors;
PVA glue;
Pencil.

Manufacturing:

1. Cut the sleeve in half. Cut off the edges from one end to make the nose of the rocket.

2. Cut out three blue cones from blue paper, which we bend in the middle. These will be our rocket engines. We glue them to the uncut (rear) part of the sleeve.

3. Glue the rocket on a black background.

4. Cut out two petals from red and golden paper. It will be a fire tearing out from behind the ship.

5. Glue the flame and the cut out window.

6. Draw the sun on the golden foil, and Saturn with the ring on the silver foil. Cut out and glue both shapes onto black cardboard.

7. Apply glue to the background and sprinkle with semolina on top. This is our Milky Way. A beautiful craft is ready!

Did you like the collage? If you have schoolchildren, then you can make a flying luminous object below.

Video on how to make a flying saucer from a plastic bottle

How to do it - let's watch a short video. I'm sure the kids will enjoy the process itself, and then they will play UFO with enthusiasm. After all, this is not just a craft, but with light special effects!

How to make crafts from disks on a space theme?

CDs are already being thrown into the trash, but in vain. After all, this junk material is very suitable for souvenirs for Cosmonautics Day. Its shiny and round flat surface is very suitable for the production of unidentified flying objects.

Here's a second grader's masterpiece. She used a disk under a flying saucer with a very cute alien.

And this is the alien himself with antennas made of springs and foil.

The cutest plate of rhinestones and fluffy antennae.

ABOUT! And here is a whole group of funny humanoids with their vehicles.)

And one more idea how to use CDs.

Step by step 3D postcard in the form of a rocket

If you have never created voluminous postcards, then here is a step-by-step method for you. Again, everything is as simple as two and two. And templates can be obtained at the end of my note.

We need:

Blank sheet of paper A4;
Simple pencil;
Scissors;
colored paper;
Glue;
Gouache paints.

Manufacturing:

1. Fold A4 sheet in half. On the fold we draw a half of the rocket.

2. Part of the rocket in the photo below is marked with a dotted line. This means that we will not cut here. And cut out all the straight lines with scissors.

3. We try to do everything as accurately as possible.

4. Turn our starship inside out. It will fold inward and the entire card will fold inward.

5. We draw the details of the ship: nozzles, porthole, nose and flame below.

6. Color the background black with gouache. And the rocket itself in suitable colors.

Here you can dream up and make the face of an astronaut in the window of the porthole.

7. We draw beautiful flames.

8. Cut out different planets from colored paper. We glue them all over the background. You can also make foil stars.

Voila! Our cool voluminous postcard is ready. We give it to the destination.

We make original works for the school competition

Let's get inspired by the ideas of the kids who won space-themed craft contests. They all tried, working through every detail in their masterpieces.

Any available materials were used in the works. These are twine, foam balls as planets, glass pebbles, felt and much more.

A drop of imagination on the theme of the galaxy, starships and UFOs - and a wonderful work for the competition is already ready!

Pictures and templates on the theme of space

As a background and pictures, I suggest using cute templates and drawings. They will fit perfectly when creating postcards or crafts on the theme of astronautics.

On this note, I will say goodbye to you for a while. I wish you success in your work and pleasant moments spent together with the guys!

You can add more variety and interesting moments to the usual everyday life of children if you master a new type of activity. To do this, you just need to captivate the baby. One of the developing and very original activities is making crafts with your own hands.

What crafts can be done on Cosmonautics Day with children

What kind of materials and ideas are not used to make crafts on the theme of Space with their own hands. Space-themed products can be made from cardboard, discs, boxes, salt dough, plastic bottles, candy wrappers, plasticine and other gizmos found at home. To decorate beautiful children's crafts for Cosmonautics Day, you just need to tell the child how to do it right.

From disks

The craft "Flying Saucer" made by hand from a disk will look original and unusual. Halves from Kinder Surprise will serve as a cabin for aliens. A plastic egg can be used partially, so it will be much more convenient to fix it on a plate. Don't forget to color the flying saucer with your child, or stick on top crafts with stars, toy eyes, and other items of your choice.

From plasticine

To make an astronaut suitable for an exhibition in a kindergarten or school, you need to have plasticine of your favorite colors and imagination. Here is one of the ways how to make crafts in the form of an astronaut with your own hands:

We roll up a ball of red plasticine - this will be a helmet.
We turn the plasticine blue sausage and turn it into a spring. We make several spirals that will become the arms and legs of the hero of the craft - the astronaut.
From yellow or white plasticine we form a porthole for a helmet, draw a face.
We attach gloves and shoes made of red color to the spacesuit.
We cut several small strips of red tone, sculpt equipment for the astronaut and attach it to the spacesuit.

There is another option for making plasticine crafts on the theme of Space:

We roll up two balls - these will be the head and torso of the craft.
We form ten small balls and six slightly larger ones, small ones will serve as handles, large ones will serve as legs.
We flatten a piece of orange plasticine and attach crafts to the body. We attach three multi-colored balls to the overlay - we get the astronaut's control panel.
We sculpt a porthole from white plasticine, edging it with a thin strip of red.
We take black plasticine, make headphones and fix it on the helmet.

From salt dough

By Cosmonautics Day, you can bring an original craft in the form of funny aliens to kindergarten. To make your own work, take:

multi-colored salt dough;
toy stars, buttons and eyes;
wire;
stacks.

Aliens can be sculpted in different shapes and sizes, whatever your baby wants. We make antennas from wire, because what kind of alien will turn out without them? We glue small eyes on a creature from another planet, decorate the craft with buttons or stars. If the child does not come up with an image of a future alien, tell him by making an example. You can decorate an alien as you like, it all depends on the imagination of the crumbs and the idea of \u200b\u200bcrafts.

From paper or cardboard

The rocket is one of the most popular space-themed DIY crafts. To make it using the quilling technique, you will need corrugated stripes, an egg from Kinder Surprise, and PVA glue. The process of making paper crafts with children is as follows:

We use egg halves as a template for circles.
From the strips we wind the top of the rocket, wings, base and porthole.
We insert an egg from Kinder into the center of the rocket, we combine all the details of the craft into a single whole.

Crafts from a plastic bottle

To make a space rocket soaring up with your own hands, you need:

empty plastic bottle;
cardboard;
a pump that inflates balls;
scotch;
water.

The main purpose of the craft for kids is to launch it into a spectacular flight. The rocket will fall apart into small pieces, therefore, you should not be too zealous with the details. Follow the instructions:

It is necessary to cut out the top of the craft in the shape of a cone and 3 rocket blades from cardboard.
All received elements must be taped to the container with tape.
After completing the previous steps, insert the pumping needle into the cork. The hole must match the diameter of the needle, otherwise water will flow out of the rocket. If they do not match, water can be poured already before starting.
It's time to power up the pump and watch the awesome rocket flight!

Step-by-step instructions for making space-themed crafts

Cosmonautics Day is a great occasion to tell kids about outer space and make DIY crafts on the theme of Space. Any available materials will help to create an original work. It is much easier to do any craft with step-by-step instructions in front of you. Use the guide below, which details the steps on how to glue or mold popular attributes for the holiday.

How to make a flying saucer

A self-made UFO will delight the baby. To make crafts, you will need a plastic bottle with a disposable plate. Let's take action:

With scissors or a clerical knife, carefully separate the bottom of the bottle.
We cut off its upper part, cut off the neck.
We put the bottom of the bottle on a plate, draw a circle with a marker.
Cut out the circle, stepping back from the drawn borders. We make cuts.
We insert the upper part of the bottle into the resulting hole. It will be fixed thanks to incisions.
We fix everything with adhesive tape, we get a craft cabin.
Insert the bottom of the bottle from below, fix it.
Having attached the bottom of the bottle to paper or shiny cardboard, circle and cut out a circle. Insert the plate into the hole.
We trim the edges of the plate with scissors so that they coincide with the edges of the cardboard.
Place the top of the bottle in the middle.
Inside the flying saucer we seat a plasticine alien - the main character of the craft.
With the help of baking soda, vinegar and citric acid, you can make a real acid rain or a whole volcano! To do this, put a small amount of soda in a container, dilute the vinegar with water, gradually adding vinegar or citric acid to the soda. Get an indescribable spectacle!

Rocket from a plastic bottle

Doing crafts on the theme of Space with your own hands is very interesting. You can make an original rocket with your child if you have:

white acrylic paint;
plastic rectangular bottle;
three caps of different colors and sizes;
two tubes of cardboard;
thick cardboard orange, red, yellow;
markers and pencils;
scissors;
hot glue.

We make the craft step by step like this:

Pour white paint into a bottle. Shake well so that the paint evenly paints the entire inner surface. It will be less laborious if you immediately take a white bottle.
We paint the tubes in the desired color or decorate with a pattern. From colored cardboard we make flames, glue them to the inside of the case. To make the flame develop beautifully, you can still cut it out of the newspaper. We attach the nozzles with fire to the bottle with hot glue.
Multi-colored plastic covers will serve as portholes. We attach them to the front of the future rocket with a glue gun.
Cut out two cardboard triangles, color with felt-tip pens, glue on both sides.
We attach a plastic cup to the bottom of the rocket. It will serve as another nozzle and a reliable base for the rocket.
After the glue dries, the product will be completely ready, all that remains is to come up with a name.

Plasticine planets of the solar system

By the day of Cosmonautics, it is better to do crafts on the theme of Space with your own hands. This will help the child learn a lot of new things and have fun with mom or dad. To sculpt the planets of the solar system, sculpting is easy when there is a step-by-step instruction at hand:

We take a dense sheet and colored plasticine to create an unusual composition.
The sun will be the central object of the craft, we begin to sculpt from it. To do this, we mix yellow, orange, white colors, but so that they can be distinguished, you do not need to make a single color.
Glue the resulting mass in the center of the sheet, smear it with your fingers in a circle.
To get the orbits of the planets for crafts, we roll out thin threads from white or beige plasticine.
We create nine rings around the Sun.
Mercury is the smallest planet. We roll it into a ball, mixing small pieces of gray, brown and white. We push the craters with a toothpick.
We make Venus three times larger from black, brown and gray. We set the relief of the planet with a wire.
Earth is the brightest planet in the solar system and crafts. We create it from green, blue and yellow plasticine.
Mysterious Mars is obtained by mixing orange and black colors.
For a large Jupiter, you will need beige, brown and orange stripes.
We form Saturn, we attach a ring around its axis.
We sculpt Uranus with a ring from blue shades.
Neptune looks like an ordinary ball of blue plasticine.
Small Pluto is obtained from gray and white.
When finished, lay out the planets in order and attach them to the orbits in which they should be located. The process of sculpting crafts can be made even more creative if you draw a lunar rover or a comet on a sheet.

How to make a robot from improvised materials

One of the simple, but unusual, options would be a robot made of plastic caps. The way to assemble such an original product is simple:

We pass metal rods between the covers, so the robot will be mobile.
The craft can also be fastened with a glue gun.
Putting a couple of covers vertically, we get wheels on which the space hero will move.

Find out what you can do with your own hands.
