Crafted lunar rover for Cosmonautics Day. Space crafts

Yulia Safarova

In our kindergarten, an exhibition of crafts for the holiday has become a tradition. Children do crafts at home with their parents and bring them to kindergarten. This time the exhibition was dedicated to the 55th anniversary of human space flight. I offer you my " Lunokhod"made with my son at home.

To make it we needed: empty plastic jars of different sizes, a children's plastic construction set, a spring, a lid, a toothpick and a little imagination and half an hour of time. The first thing we did was screw two long parts of the construction set to a large can; this will be the mount for the wheels. Then the small jar was attached to a large one, antennas and a hatch were added" Lunokhod".

Then wheels were made from the construction set and attached to the main part of the product.

The whole " Lunokhod"We painted it with silver paint from a spray can. Separately, we made the surface of the moon, printed out the Earth and the astronaut, and took the craft to the kindergarten.

Like this" Lunokhod"We did it!

Publications on the topic:

"Ship" master class. The ship is made using the torn appliqué technique. Goal: To develop children's creative abilities. Tasks: 1. Fasten.

I offer for your attention an interesting and not complicated snowflake. It's very simple and interesting to make. Suitable for older preschool children.

Dear colleagues, parents, children! I would like to present to you the design of the “Farm” nature corner in our group. This manual is used for...

“Master - class “Photo Frame”. We will need: 1. Cardboard 2. A4 office colored paper – orange, blue, light green, red.

Good evening dear colleagues! Quite recently, I began to master the kanzashi technique - these are not ordinary hairpins and decorations made of fabric, it’s not easy.

This is an exciting opportunity to try yourself as a true watchmaker and decorator. And to breathe life into your new ones.

Materials: natural material (dry leaves, flowers, granulated tea, A4 orange cardboard, PVA glue, simple pencil, colored pencil.

We started with the Moon.
They took a balloon and started covering it with toilet paper. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a ball (winter had already passed and summer had not yet begun), and I didn’t immediately think of using a globe. You'll see what comes of this later.

The first layer was made immediately dense, in three layers at once. The ball was pre-covered with cling film and placed in a bowl to prevent it from rolling around. We didn’t need a full moon, but “in one-quarter phase” :)) - just the surface of the moon, so that we could then put a lunar rover on it.

“Glued” the first layer onto the water. No paper was spared! Subsequent layers were glued with PVA mixed with water. At first everything is just smooth. And they let it dry. In the meantime, while our Moon was drying, spare parts for the lunar rover were being prepared.

We started with the wheels. It has 8 wheels. Yes, I forgot to say: this is the Soviet Lunokhod-1, its photographs, drawings and schematic images are in many encyclopedias on astronautics, as well as on the Internet.

For the wheels, we cut out circles from cardboard, cut them along the radius and glued them together to make these “dumb” cones. Four circles without a hole in the middle and four with a hole, as in this photo. The hole is needed to later insert the axle into it, so it’s better to try it on right away.

This is how the cones turned out. Now you need to glue the cones together in pairs: one with a hole and the other without a hole, with the convex sides facing out. I don’t have this photo because we didn’t do it right at first.

Then we paste strips of corrugated cardboard over these resulting parts. And we put the wheels on the axles. The axles - wooden skewers - were pre-painted with acrylic.

There should be two such “carts” from four wheels. All the sticks are glued together with some kind of glue, similar to what shoemakers use :)

We also glue the “carts” together with sticks, slightly at an angle, so that the wheels can stand not on a flat table, but on a spherical lunar surface. To do this, we dry it on matchboxes.

In general, the first Soviet lunar rover looked like a saucepan on wheels. We used an old plastic container as a saucepan (It seems like honey was once stored in it?!). The container was painted with acrylic. Then it turned out that it is not plastic, but polyethylene, and nothing, including glue and paint, sticks to it!
Wires are inserted for future "devices".

The Lunokhod vitally needs solar energy, so it has a solar battery. A circle was cut out of cardboard for it, and a flat cone was made from the circle. Then this cone was painted.
Please note: on one side of the circle there was a rectangle cut in half. This is for further attachment to the “saucepan”.

To the finished painted cone we attach a circle of mirror cardboard with pressed lines imitating the cells of a solar battery.

Meanwhile, craters appeared on the Moon. To make them, we laid a rectangle of wet toilet paper and pinched the round folds with our hands. I only showed one to my daughter; she did all the rest herself. We tried to make the craters different in circumference.
This is our Moon drying on a bottle against the backdrop of the Earth))
Nothing foreshadowed anything bad... But when I tried the “saucepan with wheels” on the Moon, I realized that the lunar rover on it was just like the baobab trees on the planet of the Little Prince! We began to think about what to do. The child was upset - such a brainchild, such a Moon turned out, and everything was wrong. Dad made a verdict: cut! The girl closed her eyes...

"Luna" was cut like an orange. Here you can see the places of faults on its surface. Urgent work has begun to restore the lost beauty. It was then that I realized that I should have immediately placed her on a globe, and not on a ball. And my baby said (we all did this almost at the very last moment) that we should give away the lunar rover separately, and write an announcement about the moon: Sorry, the Moon is under restoration.

Here you can see how we placed the paper. But she turned out to be a different shade! The entire household stock of toilet paper was urgently opened and the right shade (well, almost the right one) was found.
At first we just put wet paper there, and then we went over it with a brush dipped in diluted PVA. And so on until the surfaces are level. And then torn small pieces of paper were placed on top and, if necessary, more craters were made.

During the intervals between drying out the layers of the lunar surface, an antenna was made. These are sequins, bugles and beads.

Manufacture we will do crafts in technology« Paper tunnel» .

This is the beauty we will make for you.

Let's get creative!

For work we need:

1. Scissors

2. Cardboard 5 sheets (black color)

2 accordion sheets

3 sheets for background

3. Printed blanks of planets and space background

4. PVA glue

5. A box of chocolates served as a frame for me (you can make from paper)

6. Ruler, pencil

7. Paints (gouache)

Our tunnel consists of 3 elements. We cut out circles in sheets of cardboard, clearly in the middle. We decorate with paints using the spray method.

Now we need to make the side parts of our tunnel.

We measure the height and width of the box.

Then we make two accordions that match the height of your product. Harmonic divided by 1.5 cm.

Glue the folds.

Glue the background into the box. We insert accordions and glue them.

View from above.

Close-up.

Since my box is white, I covered it with black paper.

Paper tunnel"Space" ready!

Publications on the topic:

Good afternoon, dear colleagues! I bring to your attention a craft on the theme of fire safety, made using the “Paper Tunnel” technique.

Take a medium-sized hoop and wrap it with insulating tape. Cover it with fabric of the appropriate color. Make balls out of paper.

The “Cosmos” laptop book is intended for teachers to work with children aged 5-6 years in a group. I made it from an ordinary cardboard box and covered it with self-adhesive.

To make a model, you need the following materials: - Watercolor sheet (A3 format) - 1 pc. ; -watercolor paints (colors: gray, white, black); -simple.

1. For work we will need: - colored paper - black cardboard - glue - scissors - pencil 2. Cut out a rocket stencil from cardboard.

The holiday of Cosmonautics Day is approaching. This year we celebrate the 55th anniversary of Yu. A. Gagarin's first space flight. Due.

On April 2, our entire country celebrates Cosmonautics Day. In 1961, it was on this day that our planet was shocked by unexpected news: “Man.

Try to answer all your baby’s questions or find the answers together. You can make a whole alien landscape using some kind of tray, plasticine, cardboard, foil, pasta, various springs, wire - whatever you find at hand! You can make different aliens from plasticine! Great crafts -, . Make these It’s not difficult at all, but children really like them and become baby’s favorites for a long time!

Using baking soda and vinegar or an aqueous solution of citric acid, you can make a seething volcano or acid rain!

Option 1. Pour a little soda into a glass, dilute the vinegar with water so that the smell is less and the reaction is not so violent. Gradually pour vinegar or citric acid solution into the soda and observe the reaction.

Option 2. Make a volcano out of plasticine, and do it all in a crater! But it all needs to be placed on some kind of tray.

Option 3. Sprinkle a thin layer of soda on a large tray, pour a solution of vinegar or citric acid into a bottle of nasal drops and pour in a little, observing how the soda reacts. It turns out to be almost real acid rain!

DIY rocket

Let's make a very simple and beautiful rocket. Even kids can do this craft with your help. Materials needed: colored cardboard, colored paper, scissors, glue.

Here is an approximate pattern.

It is very simple to make; the dimensions of the parts depend on what size rocket you want to get. 1. Cut out the rocket body, its top, and stand from cardboard. From colored paper - circles - portholes.

2. Glue the body and top together. We make cuts on one side of the body. Apply glue to these cuts.

3. We cut the “legs” of the rocket: one at the top, the other at the bottom. Let's connect them.

4. We glue the porthole circles onto the rocket body. 5. We make 4 cuts on the rocket body in order to install it on the stand.

That's all! Wonderful is ready!

DIY Lunokhod

Another simple and very interesting craft that can be easily done with children. For this craft we need foil, some kind of box with a lid (we have a box of processed cheese), and for the wheels we needed a cylinder on which cling film, parchment, and foil were wound. If you don’t have such a cylinder, you can make wheels from thick cardboard. You also need wire to connect parts of the body and antennas, scissors, and glue.

This one is easy to make. 1. We cut the cylinder into not very wide rings, which will be the wheels of the lunar rover. This is easy to do with a sharp knife. 2. Wrap each wheel in foil.

3. We also wrap the processed cheese box in foil. To do this, cut out a circle from foil that is larger in diameter than the box. Carefully fold the edges inward. 4. Glue a circle of smaller diameter inside to cover the edges and cardboard. 5. Glue the wheels to the bottom of the box wrapped in foil. 6. Using wire, we connect the cover and the body of the lunar rover.

7. The simplest thing remains. On the roof we can attach antennas, radars or some other interesting things, this is already a work of imagination. All this can easily be stuck into plasticine, the plasticine can be wrapped in foil and the entire structure can be glued to the roof of the lunar rover.

This is what we made.

Aliens and space landscape

Surely your child has some figurines of men, monsters, weirdos, and so on. All of them can be used for space game. You can make aliens from plasticine to suit every taste and color. And place various bizarre space plants on a damaged computer disk. And so you get a completely cosmic landscape! We used foil, cardboard, spaghetti. It was a lot of fun! These are some simple ones you can make with your own hands together with your children.

Origami rocket (video)

To complete the whole space theme, we invite you to make another wonderful craft - origami rocket. About how useful classes are origami for kids , I will never get tired of repeating. This is the development of a lot of useful skills and qualities! True, this one will be more to the liking of older children. For kids this activity is a little difficult. Let's get down to business!

HOW TO TELL CHILDREN ABOUT SPACE

It’s better to start getting acquainted with the Sun. It is the most important star in our solar system; the life of our planet depends on it. It is difficult for a child to imagine the size of the Sun, stars, solar system, planets and the Earth too. Try to explain everything complex in simple terms, using available tools. Take a flashlight or lamp - this is the sun, and a large ball is the Earth, a slightly smaller ball is the Moon. If you have a globe, great, it makes the task easier! Together with your child, you can conduct an experiment with a globe or with improvised objects, considering the issues of the change of day and night, why we sometimes see the moon full, and sometimes only a crescent. Tell us that we only see the illuminated side of the Moon, and the other side is in shadow. Talk about the size of space objects. Why do we see stars small? Demonstrate on any object how it decreases as it moves away from us, it is convenient to do this on the street, take the same ball with you and use it as a star or planet. For this reason, we see stars as small dots, but they are huge, they are just very far from us! Explain that stars emit light and planets reflect. To do this, it is convenient to use phosphorescent objects, stickers or reflective tape. A royal gift for a child would, of course, be a telescope. They come in different sizes and are sold at different prices. The child will be delighted! This will bring him closer to the stars!

You can compare the sizes of the Sun and the Earth using a pumpkin and a pea. If our Earth is a pea, then the Sun is a pumpkin. Try to explain everything using specific, simple examples without vagueness. In conclusion, you can watch interesting videos. For example, a video that shows the sizes of celestial bodies in comparison.

Try to answer all the questions your child may have. If you don’t know something, don’t brush it off, don’t evade the answer! It’s better to look for the answer in an encyclopedia or on the Internet together with your child. Your authority will definitely not suffer, but on the contrary, you will show that it is normal not to know something; it is bad not to strive to know more.

Children about space. Stories about space in games

Here are thematic cards that will not only help your child learn about space, stars, planets, but also develop memory, attention, fine motor skills, logical thinking and many other important qualities and skills. The cards are intended for children 2-8 years old. You can download all these cards in one compressed folder by clicking the button below. After this, you need to unpack the archive onto your computer and print the pictures.

How do we play?

For kids, you can simply show pictures with planets, listing them from the name, then offer to choose planets from two or three options.

If you print two copies of the cards. One of them needs to be cut and the other left whole. Invite the baby to arrange the cut pictures into identical ones on the same sheet, while saying the names of the planets so that the baby repeats and remembers. And if you cut both sets of pictures, you can turn them over and find the same ones.

These cards can be used to compose a story about the planets of the solar system, cosmic bodies, and astronauts. This activity perfectly develops speech, imagination, thinking, and logic. And you can play with these cards the same way as with the previous ones.

And these cards will help in developing attentiveness and observation. In each line you need to find the odd one out.

The following cards are perfect for developing logic. It is necessary to extend the logical series.

A game that helps develop fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements and will help prepare the hand for writing. It is necessary to help the rockets reach the planets and connect them along the dotted line.

A small space puzzle. The picture needs to be cut into several parts. For older children, there may be more parts. Invite your child to put together a picture!

We connect identical planets and develop attention.

Learning to work with scissors. You need to cut along the dotted line.

We sort planets and flying ships.

Now let's sort the planets by size. Separately small, medium and large.

Now let's color our planet! Very creative task!

These are thematic games that will help tell the story. You can also download many other interesting space-themed coloring pages.

Poems about space for children

We're walking around the globe
We raise our fingers together.
Jumped over the forest
We climbed the mountain,
We found ourselves in the ocean -
We shopped together.
Let's go to Antarctica
It's cold, frozen.
We all boarded the rocket -
They flew into space (raise the handle up).

Let's recite a poem about the planets:

All planets in order
Any of us can name:
One - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four - Mars.
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him is Neptune.
He is the eighth in a row.
And after him, then,
And the ninth planet
Called Pluto.

It's so cool in space!
It's so cool in space!
Stars and planets
In black weightlessness
Slowly swimming!
It's so cool in space!
Sharp missiles
At great speed
They rush here and there!
It's so wonderful in space!
It's so magical in space!
In real space
Been there once!
In real space!
In the one that saw through,
In the one that saw through
Paper telescope!
O. Akhmetova

Space
The blue sky has opened
Yellow-orange eye
The sun is the luminary of the day
Looks at us affectionately.
The planet is spinning smoothly
In the unsteady flickering of lights.
There's a comet somewhere in space
He follows after her.
Mercury is torn from orbit,
Wants to hug Venus.
These magnetic storms
Maybe Mercury will rise.
Distant stars blink
Signaling something to the Earth.
Black holes gape
An eternal mystery in the darkness.
Brothers in mind. Where are you?
Where are you waiting for us?
Maybe in the constellation Virgo,
Maybe in the constellation Pegasus?
N. Tsvetkova

Earth is a grain of sand in the Ocean
Among countless worlds.
And we are not only earthlings,
When we hear an interplanetary call.
And if wings are for flight
Managed to straighten and take off -
There is no more perfect starship
The earth's magnet can be overcome.
Numen

To Venus
Hiding his face behind a snow-white burqa,
Following the sun, the Beautiful Lady in her retinue,
You make a circular path again and again,
The Almighty predetermined cosmic orbit...
You have been attracting attention for a long time,
Being the standard of Beauty!
And the diamond patterns of the stars fade,
When you shine from heavenly heights.

V. Asterov
It's a holiday for the astronauts!
A special day has come to us -
It's a holiday for the astronauts!
Knows this well
Quiet and prankster!
And everyone keeps saying, who cares,
Always the same:
Since I was born on this day,
Must become an astronaut!
No, I don’t want to be an astronaut.
More like an astronomer.
I will study all the planets
Without leaving home.
But maybe still a doctor? -
There will be no problems in the family,
I will always lend my shoulder
To family and friends.
And become a traveler
All boys dream -
To open up countries and lands,
Write books about this.
The astronauts have an anniversary
And I'm ten today...
And what is dearer to my soul,
There's still time to weigh in!
N. Rodvilina

My star
It was getting dark, and in the dark sky
The star lit up. The entire milky way
I see, as if in the palm of my hand,
I dream of clinging to that star.
Now, if only there was a lunar path
Shortened the long way for us,
I would calm down a little
That I will meet her someday.
And reflected in the moonlight,
It's burning in my window
As if agreeing with me,
Laughing, he winks at me.
I.Schastneva

Saturn
Each planet has something of its own,
What distinguishes her most clearly.
You will certainly recognize Saturn by sight -
A large ring surrounds it.
It is not continuous, it is made up of different stripes.
Here's how scientists solved the question:
Once upon a time the water froze there,
And Saturn's rings of snow and ice.
R. Aldonina

Young cosmonaut
As a child, many people dreamed
Fly into starry space.
So that from this starry distance
Inspect our land.
See its open spaces,
Rivers, mountains and fields,
Look at smart devices
To prove that I don’t live in vain.
Fly on the starry rabble,
Explore the forests and seas.
Did Copernicus lie to us?
Why does the earth rotate?
The astronauts, there, are flying,
They come back.
Everyone gets a "hero"
They walk like stars and shine.
Oh, I don’t understand
Why am I not a hero?
Just like they fly
I am, after all, a fighting guy. All year round, in spring, winter
I'm flying in space.
And the spaceship is mine
It's called EARTH!
V. Kryakin

Lunokhod
The lunar spacecraft landed on the moon.
In the lunar spacecraft there is a lunar rover.
Circuses, craters and holes
The Lunokhod is not afraid.
He leaves drawings
On the surface of the Moon.
There is a lot of dust, there is no wind.
Drawings can live for a thousand years!
Valentin Berestov

Fireworks to everyone!

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

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

Let's look at a selection of interesting ideas. Most likely, they will give you interesting thoughts and create your own masterpieces. After all, there is room for imagination to run wild here. The work can include planets, satellites, flying vehicles, UFOs, rockets and much more.

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

Well, here we go! As Yuri Gagarin once aptly said).

Interesting ideas on the theme of Space with your own hands

First, let's look at what can be made on this topic. For younger kids, it will be possible to make (with the help of their parents) such a layout from colored paper. All the planets of our Solar System are located on it. 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. It’s better to draw such compositions first and even paint them with flowers. And then you can roll small balls and just stick them on.

After all, it’s really possible to submit it for a competition?

Squirrel in a rocket

We make figures of astronauts and a lunar rover from salt dough. Simple . This material is pleasant to work with for several reasons:

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

Russian cosmonauts and lunar rover

Children 4-5 years old can make simple paper rockets. This turns out to be a simple form of origami. And you can glue them onto a dark blue background, which will represent outer space.

Rockets in the universe

Let's make these funny aliens from toys, jars, tubes and plasticine.

Funny aliens

Another option for the competition using the modular origami technique.

We turn on our imagination and use everything: polystyrene foam, tree branches, foil, wire. Bushings will even be useful for making rockets.

Gagarin in flight

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

Milky Way

And a little humor)

Cat in a hat from the planets of our solar system

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

Simple crafts for kids in kindergarten on Cosmonautics Day

I suggest making a rocket with the kids 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 placed on a blue background and next to an astronaut figurine.

Add some foil and you'll have a more realistic spacecraft.

Let's make a starship out of paper. You can do this simply according to the diagram below.

And here is the finished version. Color it as you wish.

Or we’ll make an unidentified flying machine out of thick paper. You can make several of these things and put them again on the blue sky.

Look how colorful and at the same time original UFOs we produce.

Let's use the baby's favorite toy - plasticine. It is pliable, soft and adheres well to almost any surface.

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

Saucers - open space

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

Funny alien

Don't feel like folding paper? So let's blind her too, because there is a lot of plasticine!

When working with plasticine, the first thing you need to do is explain to children that this is an inedible material and should not be put into their mouth.

Alien and flying saucer made of plasticine

Space idea made of paper and cardboard for April 12

From components such as paper and cardboard, it is easiest to do work for kindergarten and school. Because they are always present in any home. And 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.

To work you need:

Cardboard with a black background about 30*25 cm;
Toilet paper roll;
Colored paper;
Gold and silver foil;
Semolina;
Scissors;
PVA glue;
Pencil.

Manufacturing:

1. Cut the sleeve in half. At one end we cut off the edges to create the nose of the rocket.

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

3. Glue the rocket onto a black background.

4. Cut out two petals from red and gold paper. This will be fire coming out from behind the ship.

5. Glue the flame and the cut out window.

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

7. Apply glue to the background and sprinkle semolina on top. This is our milky way. Beautiful craft is ready!

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

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

How to make it - 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 special lighting 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 waste 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 is a second grader's masterpiece. She used the disk under a flying saucer with a very cute alien.

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

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

And one more idea on how to use CDs.

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

If you have never created three-dimensional postcards, here is a step-by-step method for you. Again, everything is as simple as two and two. Templates can be found at the end of my post.

We need:

A blank sheet of paper A4;
The pencil is simple;
Scissors;
Colored paper;
Glue;
Gouache paints.

Manufacturing:

1. Fold the A4 sheet in half. On the fold we draw half a 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 we will cut out all the straight lines using scissors.

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

4. We turn our spaceship inside. It will fold inward and the entire card will fold outward.

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

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

Here you can get creative and make an astronaut’s face in the porthole window.

7. Draw beautiful flames.

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

Voila! Our cool three-dimensional card is ready. We give it away for its intended purpose.

Making original works for a school competition

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

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

And here is a magnificent model made from plastic bottles.

We use felt for voluminous applique.

Intergalactic travelers.

Beautiful applique made from napkin balls.

To make it, you need to roll out many, many balls from colored paper napkins. But the work seems to be worth it!

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

Pictures and templates on the theme of space

I suggest using cute templates and drawings as backgrounds and pictures. They will fit perfectly when creating postcards or crafts on the theme of astronautics.
