Name Rocket Ship

Our new theme is space… first up we did this super easy and cute name rocket ship.  Guess where I found the idea?  Pinterest of course 🙂

You’ll need: glue, glitter glue, sharpie, star stickers, black paper, some other colors of construction paper cut into squares and one triangle.

Hailey put out her pieces into the pattern she wanted and then wrote her name on the squares.

After your rocket ship is glued on, add some star stickers.

Use the glitter glue to make some flames coming out of the rocket ship.

Vase and Flowers

Here is cute Earth Day project, that I saw on Pinterest, using recycled materials.

You’ll need a water bottle, cardboard, bottle tops, pipe cleaner, glue, paint and some tissue paper to for leaves.

Hailey painted the water bottle.  We used acrylic paint which will stay on the plastic very well.

Hunter made one of the flowers…

He didn’t really want to give up his bottle tops and when he got down to having 2 left he kept saying, “no, no, no, no!” when I showed him where to put the pieces.

Hailey made the other flowers

She used pipe cleaner for stems and then added tissue paper for the leaves.
I used a hot glue gun to glue the water bottle to the cardboard.

Paper Plate Earth

You’ll need: a paper plate, blue paint, green tissue paper and possibly glue.

Hailey painted her plate blue for water.

Then she added green tissue paper to represent land.  Hailey did hers while the paint was still wet, so she did not need glue.  At first I told her to try to make it look like the actual earth but she said she just wanted it to be fun so I let her just do it however she wanted.  But if you wanted to make this into more of geography activity you could put the green tissue paper on to represent actual continents.

We waited until Hunter’s plate was dry before adding his tissue paper, so he needed glue.  He really loves the glue stick.  Putting the pieces on is not as fun as putting glue on everything 🙂

Coffee Filter Earth

Since Earth Day will be here soon I went to my Pinterest Earth Day board and looked for some inspiration.

This one is super simple- you just need coffee filters, blue and green washable markers, and a spray bottle with water in it.

Color the coffee filter with the markers.  It really doesn’t matter how you do it.  Hunter just scribbled all over his.

Hailey drew some shapes and colored them in.

When you’re done coloring, spray the coffee filter with water and watch the color spread.  (This is why your markers need to be washable, so that the colors will mix.)
