Space Scene Craft: Print, Color, Cut and Paste Project

Space Scene Craft: Print, Color, Cut and Paste Project

After playing around with different ideas for a space scene craft ( see previous post) I have completed a Print-Cut-Paste project.

Here is the downloadable pdf file ( for private us only, not for commercial use).

All you have to do is print it, have your child color it and then cut it. Let your child paste it on some black construction paper and there you go: a beautiful space scene that you created while having fun and learning together!

Origami Box: Air Mail Style

Origami Box: Air Mail Style

A friend of mine is about to celebrate his birthday. He’s a young engineer and he has basically two obsessions:  becoming a pilot and…ice cream!
Me and my friends decided to organize an ice cream tasting in the best “gelateria” in town, and my job was to create a fun invitation to let everybody know about the party. My idea was to put the invitation inside a small candy box. What about an air mail style origami box?
Here it is!

This box is composed by 9 printable  items:

  • The top
  • the bottom
  • 2 big ribbons
  • 2 small ribbons
  • 2 inside masks
  • 1 card

The inside masks are two paper squares designed to decorate the inside of the box. Check the next pic to see how nice they look.

 

The box size is about 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm (2.8 x 2.8 x 1.4 inches).
Making it was very easy.

Have fun!

Space Scene Craft: 3…2…1….Blastoff!

Space Scene Craft: 3…2…1….Blastoff!

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.)
