This is a good open-ended art activity for kids. Cut out pieces of construction paper for the kids to build their own robot.
What you need: Construction paper, googly eyes, paint and pipe cleaners. Assist children in cutting out the head band and circles. Allow the children to paint whatever color of alien they would like. Glue on the eyes and tape them to the pipe cleaners. This a fun and easy sensory project to do with kids. All you need to do is make a pack of jello and put it in a bag with googly eyes. Let the children play and squish it under supervision.
As we wrap up our week of space adventures, we would like to provide some online aids. Computers can be useful learning tools if used in moderation. Here are a few educational sites that you can use to aid the learning experience. Invention at Play's "Cloud Watching" The Smithsonian's "The Dynamic Earth" The Smithsonian's "Sizing Up the Universe" The Smithsonian's "Walking on the Moon" NASA's "Space Place" Discovery Kid's "Space: Our Solar System" These are some great sites with educational FUN games! They can easily be paired with our projects from earlier this week. In case you missed them, they are Outer Space Literacy, Space Numbers, Space Songs, Toilet Paper Roll Rocket, Outer Space Hat, Build Your Own Robot, and our Alien Eyes Sensory Bag.
