All planets in order
Any of us can name:
Once - Mercury,

Greetings to all readers and guests of the blog. Today I again invite you to turn on your Creative skills and do some handicrafts. After all, a very interesting and exciting holiday is coming up - Cosmonautics Day. This means that children's institutions are already preparing in full for this event.
And of course, they give tasks for joint creativity, as they organize annual competitions on space themes. Therefore, I have prepared a special issue for you!! We will make neither flowers nor , but rockets, planets, flying saucers and much more.
I’ll immediately make a reservation that I take all the ideas for my 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, for all times, applique is always in demand, and it can be made not only from paper and cardboard, but also from fabric and cereals.
It would be cool to do some modeling and make three-dimensional planets like this. Moreover, to create them you can use balls of different diameters and from different materials, and then just color them. Or mold it 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 remaining elements with rhinestones.
Here is another great option made from salt dough. It looks very beautiful and bright.
But look what you can make from felt. And we do without sewing!!
How do you like these funny space weirdos that come in a regular box, sealed with a blue background and decorated with stars?
A cool option made from various available materials.
Paper voluminous postcard in the style of a baby book.
How do you like this flying saucer made of disk and beads?! Looks very impressive, doesn't it??
Everything here is sculpted from plasticine; by the way, you can do this as a team effort.
You can, in principle, not bother, just take it and draw it, and then put it in a frame and you’re done!!
And if, on the contrary, you want to surprise everyone and have time, then make souvenirs from pasta. We looked at 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 plates and paint them 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 made of plasticine.
You see how easy and fast everything is, and the main thing is that kids can do this kind of work.
And I also selected a couple of options from my favorite materials for creativity (paper and cardboard). Look, choose and show your children, let them make them.
A simple astronaut made from cones!
This work can be done not only from cardboard, but also from felt. And I really like the idea with photographs.
Naturally, do not forget about the applique, 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 of quilling techniques.
Making souvenirs from felt
And now we’ll sew a green alien. 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. Prepare the templates first and then transfer them onto the fabric.
2. Then following step by step instructions Sew the weirdo below.
Let's see what else you can create from this wonderful material called felt:
The easiest thing to do is cut out the silhouettes, then glue them onto the background.
For older children, and for those who sew well, of course, voluminous crafts will be advantageous:
The last work will, of course, require the help of adults.
What crafts can you make on the theme of space for school?
Now let's see what we can offer older guys. You can choose the options that we discussed above, or you can think about it and choose from the following.
The image of space is always relevant. Take an empty box, make a background of paints, glue paper stars. Make planets and hang them on strings.
Excellent teamwork. Make rockets using the origami technique and glue them on.
Cool version of salt dough!!
And look at the cool use of egg molds!!
What do you think of the idea of using a light bulb?!
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:

Master class on making a rocket from waste material
A popular craft for this holiday is a rocket. Well, let's see how we can make it too. Found it good instructions on the website Maam.ru. 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. Roll into a cone and glue with glue. Then make small cuts around the entire circumference.
3. Glue onto the sleeve.
4. Cut out small circles and glue them too, imitating a porthole.
5. Make cuts 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 a souvenir is to make. Did you like it?!!
