The day is added, but the evening still in winter long. You can look at the starry sky and the moon out of the window, but the stars are not visible if the sky is obscured by clouds.
This is a good reason to do astronomy - to create a space model with their own hands, to gain new knowledge about the world.
We find the picture on the space theme with the image of the solar system, 8 planets, their more than 63 satellites and constellations in the encyclopedia on the Internet. The child has not yet need information on the mass and chemical composition of the heavenly bodies, tell him about the sun and planetary arrangement order to the main light, let the names and briefly tell us about their features. Remember the order and the name simply by using a poem - Counting A.Hayta.
With the kids will do the most simple model of space on a large sheet of cardboard or plastic and dark clay. Pre-draw outlines in pencil, in case of mistakes can be easily corrected. plastilinografii method (artistic smearing clay on the surface) are plotted missiles and satellites. Roll up the plasticine balls of different sizes and colors, we can expand them in the proper order. Fasten lightly pressing in outer space. Add the rocket, astronaut and stars.
Older children able to cope with the model more difficult. Planet Polymer clay more realistic, a suitable appearance and require that compliance technology.
Need polymer clay, foil, wooden skewers. Small Worlds roll up of plastics in the same manner as plasticine. Large, to reduce weight and material savings, the blind from the ball-foil as a celestial body core. Ready planet string on skewers, prepare the oven for baking.
Most grades of polymer clay required baking for 30 minutes at a temperature of 130 degrees. However, the creativity and stores sell self-hardening mass for the molding or features described on the package. We wait for the cooling of the beads, remove them from the shpazhek and use for further study and educational games. It can be hung on a ribbon of the planet to the crib baby: if you start to study astronomy at an early age, in the future it will become an astronaut.
Great idea to use to create the planets Styrofoam balls of different diameters. Paint them with acrylic paints, strung on a wooden skewer, so as not to get dirty. We fix skewers vertically and wait until work dries.
One planet pierce through and attach to the ends of the wooden stick paper ring - it will be Saturn. The rest of the heavenly bodies will place the order, next will place stickers with the names.
The kindergarten can offer children paper jigsaw puzzles, made independently of the sheets of paper A5 or A4. Rectangles kids will put the big picture, so you need to be laminated billet. Children can run a rocket or spaceship and astronauts to land on the planet, while the adults tell them about the uncharted expanses of space.
And be sure to ask about some unusual crafts can be made from walnut shell
