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! It's very exciting, but from junk yes natural material you can do such work 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 children and elementary school. 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. Beautiful craft 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. This is 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!

So, creating crafts for Cosmonautics Day with a child, you can tell him about the structure of our Universe, about the difficulties that astronauts have to face, and about rocket science.

The rocket is the main means of space exploration. This can be visually displayed on the application, the main objects of which will be a spaceship and our planet Earth. To make the picture more vivid and interesting, we supplement it with decorative stars from foil.

Watch the video on how to make a very bright and colorful space-themed craft:

In the form of an application, you can also create an image of yourself. And so that the child can dream and imagine himself as an astronaut, you can place his photo in the window.

It is very interesting for children to hear about the space feat of our Soviet hero dogs Belka and Strelka. And making an application with them will bring great joy.

In the application technique, you can make an amazingly beautiful outer space with planets from stars.

Application "outer space"

Younger children can be offered to assemble an image of a rocket from pre-prepared templates - for example, by correctly distributing and gluing round windows and flames.

A space rocket can be made from ordinary plasticine.

A very beautiful rocket is obtained from salt dough.

To make such a rocket, add to salty dough paint and some PVA glue. Mix thoroughly. We make several colored pieces of salt dough with paint and glue. Next, we sculpt the rocket itself. The craft turns out to be very durable if it is dried in the oven and varnished.

It is usually interesting for children to know that a rocket is a very large spacecraft that, after being launched into space, is outside of Earth orbit almost all the time. And the food supplies to the astronauts on board are delivered by a small spacecraft controlled by a pilot - a shuttle.

Offer to make your own shuttle from a toilet paper roll: by flattening it a little on the sides, you will get the body of the ship, which you need to stick on the wings. The model turns out to be voluminous, and if a hatch is carefully cut in the upper part, the child will be able to put his toy into the space shuttle.

Or you can make a rocket from a piece of cut out cardboard roll.

A very beautiful rocket is obtained from a cardboard roll and clothespins.

A rocket can also be made from a roll, it is enough to attach a cone-shaped top and cardboard wings.

Another option for the execution of a space rocket is to make it from corrugated paper.

Watch the video on how to make a beautiful paper origami rocket:

Not a single rocket can fly without a pilot - this is its main difference from a satellite. The pilot of a spaceship is called an astronaut, and what makes him recognizable, of course, is his suit - a spacesuit.

You can offer to glue the astronaut's spacesuit to the child, having previously drawn it and cut it out of paper. We offer younger children to glue the templates prepared in advance, and then color them.

A truly cosmic portrait of an astronaut is obtained from disposable plate painted in silver color. To make it look like a spaceship, we pierce the edge with a hole punch and attach metal elements to it.

In various ways, you can also depict the expanses that astronauts surf on their ships. Using a cardboard circle as a base, you can make a galaxy model by replacing the planets with soft pom-poms different color and size.

It is convenient to use foam or plastic balls as planets. Such a model will become even more spectacular if a bright yellow hemisphere - the Sun - is placed in its center. From carton packaging from processed cheese, a plastic bottle and wooden sticks, you can make a very spectacular flying saucer.

Incredibly adorable flying saucer can be made of plasticine on a plastic cap.

Watch how to make a fun craft on the theme of space in the video:

Craft on the theme of space do-it-yourself out of the box

And this wonderful craft for the exhibition dedicated to Cosmonautics Day was made from cardboard box. Cover the box with foil.

We cut out space figures from paper and hang them on strings, which we fasten at the top of the box.

Such a craft will decorate any space exhibition.

Such children's, with their own hands made of different materials for creativity, they will certainly kindle in the children an interest in studying the unknown and develop them Creative skills.
