Craft: Floating Astronaut
Our craft was based on the picture above. The kids colored a paper plate to make it into a planet or a moon. They then colored an astronaut cutout. The astronaut was attached to the plate by a piece of yarn.
Literacy Extensions:
- Learn more about the different astronauts and animals that have been to space. There are many books at the library that will give information on the space program and its participants.
- After reading the Astronaut Handbook, have your child attempt some of the activities the astronauts must do (i.e. survival training, swimming, freeze-dried food, etc.)
