Spaceship craft in the kindergarten. Ideas for making children's crafts about space with their own hands. Materials for making interesting crafts for Cosmonautics Day from bottles

08.11.2021

Before Cosmonautics Day, various exhibitions of crafts are organized in preschool and school institutions. Today, a space rocket, a UFO or a solar system is easy to make even from improvised materials. Have fun with your kids and turn disposable tableware, cardboard boxes or toilet paper rolls into creative crafts on the theme "Space". You can make many unique products on your own.

Flying saucer made of paper utensils

Interest in UFOs arose a long time ago, so any child will be interested in making a flying saucer, which he often saw in films and cartoons. The easiest way to make such a craft is from plastic or paper of different sizes.

A UFO made of two plates will look original, one of which acts as a control cabin. In order to glue them, you need to make incisions on a small plate at the bottom, and then bend in a circle and stick it on a large plate. If you are working with paper materials, then it is easy to do this with ordinary PVA, it is better to glue plastic with hot glue. Do not forget to paint your craft with acrylic paints and decorate by gluing ordinary buttons along the contour.

A flying saucer made of and halves of a large egg from Kinder Surprise will look original. You can even use part of a plastic egg, it will be much more convenient to glue it than a large half. Don't forget to decorate your craft.

DIY space station

From rolls of toilet paper and towels, you can either ship, but the whole space station. To do this, you will need plastic bottles, double-sided tape, spray paint, plastic plates or vessels, acrylic paints. First, consider the design and dimensions of the future station. After that, prepare all the necessary materials and tools. The parts can be glued together with adhesive tape or hot glue. Make the base of the station from a 1.5 or 2 liter bottle. A beautiful stand is obtained from disposable plates or vessels, which will need to be turned over and placed on top of each other.

Attach one long towel roll to the bottle and 6 small ones at the bottom. Small parts from old toys can be useful to you in making a space station with your own hands. After you have completely assembled the craft, you can start painting. First, use spray paint, and then apply a pattern or some kind of pattern with acrylics. Such a craft will definitely win at the exhibition of space works.

If your craft consists of a small number of small elements, then instead of paint, you can use ordinary foil, which completely covers the craft.

Master class: How to make a rocket

From an ordinary cardboard roll, which most often ends up in the trash after use, it is easy to make a real space rocket. To do this, take a roll and a piece of corrugated cardboard. After that, make 4 cuts on the roll up to 5 cm deep and twist them so that you get a cone. This will be the top of the rocket. Glue it tightly with PVA.

Rocket from cardboard boxes for kids

Space robots from improvised materials

If your child is excited about robots, it is not necessary to buy a ready-made toy in the store. Try to make a beautiful robot with your own hands. This does not require any specific knowledge and skills. You can use ordinary cardboard boxes of different sizes and toilet paper rolls. Give a metallic effect to a fake using foil.

On April 12, many countries will celebrate World Aviation and Cosmonautics Day. Our compatriot, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, first went into outer space and made an orbital flight around the Earth on April 12, 1961. It is very important to instill in children from early childhood patriotism, interest in scientific achievements, to teach courage and courage. In kindergartens and schools, concerts, thematic lectures, exhibitions of crafts on the theme of space and aviation are organized for the holiday.

Crafts for kindergarten

Crafts in kindergarten for Cosmonautics Day are chosen by teachers taking into account the age of the children. Kids are offered simple crafts: pictures, postcards, souvenirs made of paper, cardboard, plasticine, salt dough. Older children can already cut out the templates for the future picture and stick them on the outlines of the picture. Older groups can be offered to fold a simple origami, make a 3D postcard, make crafts from improvised materials: balloons, balls, plastic bottles, cones, acorns, etc.

For kindergarten, the following options for crafts for Cosmonautics Day will be relevant:

Airplane;
Astronaut;
Alien;
Flying saucer;
planets;
Stars.

Toddlers 2-3 years old

We suggest with young children to make crafts from a cardboard sleeve (you can use a toilet paper sleeve) and colored paper by April 12. The result should be a rocket that can be placed on a blue background, and next to put a figure of an astronaut.

Stages of work:

Cover the sleeve with colored paper.
Attach a colored cone on top to make a rocket mockup.
Glue coasters on the sides (have an adult help fold the coasters so that the rocket can be held upright on them).
It remains to glue the portholes, which are also cut out of colored paper.

On a note! Foil can be used along with colored paper to make the rocket look more realistic.

Parents can make crafts with the kids in kindergarten from multi-colored cereals. First you need to print the drawing on paper, which is glued to thick cardboard. Choose an image on the theme of space and aviation, but it is very important that the details of the picture are large: this will make it easier for the child to make the application. Picture templates can be found on the Internet or cut out of an unnecessary magazine. Then prepare the cereal (buckwheat, rice, millet, semolina), which must first be dyed with food coloring in different colors.

We take a glue stick, spread one part of the picture, for example, the base of the spaceship. Then the kid sprinkles a certain cereal on the glue so that there is no empty space left. When all the details of the picture are filled with grits, turn the picture over to shake off the extra grains.

On a note! Working with small objects helps the development of fine motor skills in young children, so teachers and psychologists advise using various cereals as often as possible to create crafts.

Children 4-6 years old

Older kids are happy to make crafts on the theme of space. We propose to make a simple picture of colored paper, which will depict a rocket. If a preschooler already knows how to use children's scissors, let him cut out blanks for a future rocket from paper: a base, wings, windows, a nozzle, as well as stars and planets that will surround our spaceship. It remains to collect all the blanks on colored cardboard using a glue stick.

On a note! A beautiful and bright pattern is obtained from self-adhesive paper. It is easy to glue, and it will be easy for children to make an application for the holiday.

You can cut out a flying saucer from colored cardboard, and decorate the edges with beads and sequins that are attached to glue. You can glue a cute alien figurine inside the plate. Great craft for the garden!

Often, plasticine is used for all kinds of crafts in kindergarten. From it, children can mold various figures: rockets, astronauts, planets, stars. The figurines can be put on thick cardboard or attached to the base to make a picture of plasticine. It will be easier for children to work with wax clay, which is more plastic and soft.

Crafts for school

Almost every school in our country holds festive events dedicated to April 12th. Solemn concerts are prepared for the holiday, quizzes, lectures, theme evenings, as well as exhibitions of crafts for Cosmonautics Day are organized. Usually, all kinds of materials at hand are used in school work: fir cones, foam balls, fabric, glass pebbles, colored paper, napkins, cardboard and much more. Connect your imagination, come up with original options for crafts and surprise the jury with a non-standard solution and creativity.

To school, you can draw a homemade wall newspaper dedicated to the theme of space. Collective work will unite the students of the class and help to create an interesting copy that students and teachers will be happy to read.

elementary School

It is easier for students in grades 1-4 to create DIY crafts for Cosmonautics Day, because they already know how to cut, carefully stick applications and work with many different materials. Often, primary school students are offered to make figures from salt dough.

To get bright and colorful figures from the dough, you will need the following materials:

Salt dough of various colors;
Toy eyes for aliens (you can buy them at a hardware store or use eyes from unnecessary toys);
Buttons, beads.

When the crafts are done by an elementary school class, the teacher is required to provide materials and observe the children's imagination. There is no need to offer a ready-made version of the craft, the child himself will happily come up with the basic concept. From the dough, you can make a figurine of a space rocket, multi-colored aliens, planets and stars. Until the dough has frozen, the figures are decorated with buttons, sequins, beads. From the blue dough you can mold the planet Earth.

Cut out star shapes from dough using cookie cutters. Decorate them with sequins, rhinestones, beads. Make a hole in one beam, insert a string with a ring, and you will have a keychain for the holiday.

5-9 grades

In the middle classes, many schoolchildren put up their "space" crafts for the competition. The more interesting it is, the more likely it is to get a well-deserved victory in the creative competition of crafts among schoolchildren. All kinds of installations are popular, which are made of cardboard, colored paper, foil, plasticine, and various improvised materials. Variants of "space" installations:

Cardboard rocket, stars, plasticine astronaut, several planets (plastic balls painted with gouache). Pull a piece of blue fabric onto thick cardboard, secure with a stapler. All elements of the installation are attached to a fishing line and double-sided tape.
Space rocket, lunar rover, two astronauts who landed on the moon. We bend a sheet of blue cardboard. Inside we put another sheet of cardboard to make it look like a box with two walls and a bottom. Glue the stars cut out of foil on the side parts. A lunar rover can be made from an empty chocolate egg container, and astronauts can be molded from colored dough.
Rockets made from cardboard sleeves, colored paper, foil. Take a cardboard shoe box, cut off the lid. Glue a picture of the night sky inside (you can draw it yourself or print it from the Internet). Use string or string to attach the rockets to the side of the box so they look like they're flying against a space sky.

Children's crafts can be made from plastic bottles painted with acrylics. The picture made in the technique of plasticineography looks beautiful. Give students the opportunity to unleash their creativity and come up with their own unique crafts.

Ideas for High School Students

High school students are also happy to participate in the manufacture of crafts for the holiday dedicated to astronautics. Teenagers can put up crafts for a competition or give as a souvenir to parents, classmates, teachers. An unusual craft can be a stand with planets. What materials will be needed:

Multi-colored plasticine;
Shiny and colored paper;
Empty containers from chocolate eggs;
pieces of foil;
Paints, brush;
Wire;
Fantasy and creativity.

Let's get to work:

Build a plasticine planet stand.
Roll up planets of different sizes from foil.
Cut the wire, attach one end to the ball, place the other in the stand.
Then turn on your imagination and decorate the planets the way you want. You can paint them with gouache or finger paints, stick around with colored plasticine, decorate with beads, sequins, sparkles, beads.

An craft made of polyurethane foam looks unusual and festive, which will personify the conquest of the moon by astronauts. Your actions:

Prepare an unwanted shoe box. Cut off the top cover, and paint the walls black. Using glitter paint, draw stars and planets (you can cut them out of foil and glue them to the box).
The landscape of the moon is created using polyurethane foam. Apply foam to the bottom of the box and leave for a day to dry completely.

On a note! When working with mounting foam, use disposable gloves!

Using salty homemade dough, mold the figures of astronauts. To keep all the details of the figures firmly, you can use toothpicks.
In the dried polyurethane foam with a sharp knife, you can cut lunar craters.
From an unnecessary car and various small parts, for example, bottle caps, we assemble a lunar rover. We put it on the "lunar" surface, next to it we attach figurines of astronauts with the help of wire.
From plastic balls painted with paints, we make planets that are mounted on a wire.

High school students who are fond of needlework will be happy to embroider a picture on the theme of space. It remains to place the embroidery in a frame, and this will be a wonderful gift for Cosmonautics Day.

You can also bake gingerbread in the shape of rockets, flying saucers, astronauts, stars and planets. Using colored glaze, apply a pattern to the gingerbread. You can arrange colorful gingerbread cookies in gift bags and hand them to classmates and teachers on April 12. Rest assured, everyone will be delighted with such an unexpected surprise!

Do-it-yourself crafts are always interesting and exciting for children of any age, especially on the mysterious, intriguing theme of space.

Now we will talk about how to make crafts about space with your own hands. Of course, in our article you can find not only simple crafts, but also the most original ones, which can be the decoration of your home or the decoration of the exhibition.

Applications on the space theme.

Preschoolers before school should develop fine motor skills. Therefore, for a space application, prepare cereals or beans.

To make a beautiful craft for a child, first of all show him the planet Jupiter. To do this, use any picture.

Then cut out a circle from white cardboard and decorate it with beans of different colors. Of course, in this work it is necessary to use glue.

To create the next application, you will need disposable plates in the amount of 3 pieces. From one plate make the sun, and from the other planet - the Earth. From the third plate, make a month.

Take 2 sheets of cardboard. One should be dark and the other light. Decorate the cardboard with clouds and stars.

For the next application, paint the album sheet with dark blue or black paint. Cut out individual characters from colored paper. Create a composition.

Depicting the solar system is very simple. Glue a few buttons and a yellow circle to the white sheet of the album.

Space rocket.

A beautiful craft about space, which was created with your own hands, can be a voluminous work. In order to make such a rocket, you need a large cardboard case. It can be made from a long roll or from a couple of these cardboard rolls.

The rocket body should be pasted over with white paper. Also attach the tip, which has the shape of a cone, to the body. Also cover the tip with snow-white paper.

In the future, using felt-tip pens or paints, you will paint your rocket. Now, it is worth making rocket nozzles. To do this, you need rolls of cardboard of a larger size. Cover them with white paper and attach them to the rocket and glue. Nozzles should have tips, but they should not be sharp.

For a rocket, it is also worth making tanks. For them, use smaller rolls.

You can decorate the rocket at your discretion. Paste them or decorate with felt-tip pens.

Mini rocket.

If there is no huge cone at home, then you can make a beautiful space rocket from a roll of toilet paper. Look at the master class that will help you make this craft. As you can see, there is nothing complicated here.

Box robot.

If there are boxes at home, then you can make a big robot out of them. Such a robot, for sure, will take its rightful place at the competitive exhibition.

Aliens from plasticine.

Your child will love to sculpt an alien out of plasticine. In this case, you can use plasticine of a wide variety of colors.

Space satellites.

For a space exhibition, you can make a lot of different crafts. But if the exhibition is held in a kindergarten, then children can make space satellites from foam balls and toothpicks.

Space mobiles.

If you want to impress everyone around with an unusual product, then help your child make a variety of space mobiles. Of course, it will take a lot of time to create such crafts. In addition, to create crafts you will need:

cardboard and colored paper,
twigs for the base of bamboo or fiberglass,
fishing line,
small weights and thread,
paints and styrofoam balls.

Progress:

First, a circle must be cut out of a thick sheet of cardboard and painted with paints.
After that, it is worth attaching threads to the circle, to which foam balls will be attached.
The balls themselves can be made from several layers of newspaper or foam.

Look at what space mobiles can be.
