A space saucer

Creating a craft on the theme of space with their own hands will fill the child with inspiration and joy from a useful activity. To perform the work you need to prepare:

PVA glue;
metallized paper;
paint;
miniature animal;
buttons for decorations;
a small transparent cup.

The first way

Take a regular-sized disposable plate and turn it upside down. Do the same with the smaller plate. It will be a kind of control cabin. Connect the plates to each other. After a while, when the glue dries, the flying saucer is covered with paint. Necessary to glue buttons to imitate light bulbs on a flying saucer.

The second way - with a miniature animal

It is necessary to take a pair of plates, one deeper, the other - a standard size. Then they are wrapped with metallized paper and glued together. The miniature beast is placed in the center and covered with a transparent plastic cup on top, the edges of which are smeared with glue to hold it firmly. It remains to decorate the space dish with stars and hatches.

Painting with plasticine

Plasticine crafts on the theme of space can be both volumetric and flat versions. If the creative work is timed to coincide with a holiday, it becomes especially meaningful because the child is motivated to achieve the goal and understands the importance of his or her work.

The basis of the picture is a standard sheet of cardboard. It is possible to give preference to a denser structure, so that its edges are not deformed after spreading the plasticine.

Sequence of action:

First, the child primers the surface of the cardboard with purple plasticine. For preschoolers, this process is difficult to perform, so educators can replace the cardboard coating with paper applique. Younger school-age children can easily do this job.
After the surface is primed, space curls are applied - characteristic air swirls. Around them, they mold stars in the form of lumps using yellow plasticine.
To create the base of planet Earth, children need to mix blue, yellow and emerald sculpture material.
From the resulting multi-colored base roll a sphere, which later flatten out directly on the picture itself.
The space rocket is molded from gray clay, trying to give it a natural look and complementing it with characteristic details.
The portholes are marked with small lumps of blue plasticine.
The tail of the space rocket is modeled by mixing the two colors of the ornamental material, yellow and scarlet, and then fixing it to the object.
In order to enliven the space composition, mold an astronaut in a silver spacesuit.
The helmet is formed from blue plasticine.

If desired, the picture can be supplemented with molded figures of aliens.

Handmade space craft on the theme of the Galaxy is ready. It remains only to pick up a spectacular frame.

Creating a space craft is a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the mysterious and alluring world of the universe. At such moments, a child can imagine himself as the commander of a spaceship, the conqueror of unexplored planets. Children love unusual things. The task of adults is to give them the opportunity to reveal their fantastic possibilities.
