My son is obsessed with rockets and space right now, so I decided to create a craft that we could do together.

He has always enjoyed coloring but lately we have started to practice his pasting skills and he just loves playing with stickers and glue. Buying stickers is fun but it can be expensive and it is not as creative as making your own stuff together. The first project we made together I did it on the fly and just used some construction paper we had in the house.

 

I liked the idea but I wanted more elements and as soon as we had some time I drew all my space scene elements on a paper asking him what he would like to put in his space scene and had my son color them with me.

Then I proceeded to cut them (if your kid is already using scissors you can let him/her do the larger elements in the picture while you do the most detailed ones) and he had fun pasting them wherever he wanted.

Later, I have been sketching on the space “theme” and I came up with some nice rocket coloring page (downloadable here as a pdf, for private use only, not for commercial use.)
