To infinity and beyond!

Once again I found this adorable craft at No time for flash cards.
Jacq loves all things spaceships and rockets. She was really excited to do this and loves to carry her rocket around the house yelling, "BLAST OFF!"

What you need:
Craft paper or cereal box
markers
few small pieces of foil
cottonballs
piece of construction paper
glue
scissors

I used a cut up cereal box and drew my rocket, cut it out and let Jacq draw on it.



While Jacq colored the rocket I cut out 3 small circles from the cereal box and covered them with foil. These are your windows.



Have your child glue the windows onto the rocket. Glue the rocket to the construction paper.




Add some glue to the bottle of your rocket and let your child stick the cotton balls on.



Tah dah!

Reach for the Sky!

This has to be the most messy, goopy, and fun craft so far. So much thanks to Allie at No time for flash cards.
Her blog is by far my favorite arts and crafts blog. I love all her ideas and her son is the same age as Jacq so they are always age appropriate activities.

Shoot for the Moon

You will need:
1/2 cup of glue
1 1/2 cups shaving cream
craft paper ( I used a brown paper bag)
a marker
scissors

Start by drawing a moon (in any phase)



Mix your glue and shaving cream.




Let your child spread the mixture on the paper. Don't worry about them staying within the circle, you will cut it out when it dries. This was by far Jacq's favorite thing so far.










Here is the finished product. I love how it turned out! I put it on Jacq's ceiling in her room right above her bed.
