Fun Crafts to do with Space Coloring Pages
Coloring pages have a special way of sparking creativity in children. Once your little ones have added their colors to their space-themed creations, consider taking their art a step further with some exciting crafts. Here are five enjoyable ideas that you can try together.
1. Colorful Planets Mobile
Transform your colored planets into a mobile that can hang in their room. First, cut out the colored planets from the pages. Next, grab a sturdy hanger or a wooden dowel. Use string or yarn to attach each planet to the hanger, spacing them out evenly. Overhead, tie a longer piece of string to make the mobile hang well. This craft not only showcases their coloring but also adds a personal touch to their space decor. You can even add a few stars or comets from other coloring pages!
2. Galactic Wall Collage
Create a vibrant collage by mounting several of their colored pages onto a large poster board. After cutting out planets, rockets, and stars, arrange them on the board before gluing them down. This can be a beautiful piece of wall art. Encourage your child to add unique labels or little descriptions matching each element. Using glitter or stickers can add that extra shine to the finished product.
3. Space Puzzles
Make a fun and educational puzzle. Take a coloring page they've finished and glue it onto a piece of cardboard. Once it’s dry, use a pencil to lightly draw puzzle piece shapes on the back. Carefully cut along the lines to create unique pieces. These custom puzzles are perfect for playtime, and you can store them in a small box or bag to keep things organized. Watching your child put together their own artwork is sure to bring a smile.
4. Storybook Creation
Encourage creativity even further by turning colored pages into a storybook. Once your child has selected their favorite colored pages, fold blank paper in half to create a booklet. They can write a story inspired by their drawings, combining planets, astronauts, and adventures. Not only does this activity foster creativity through writing and storytelling, but it also lets your child display their coloring skills in a meaningful way. It can be fun to read the story together at bedtime!
5. Space-Themed Greeting Cards
Use the colored pages to create beautiful greeting cards for friends and family. Simply cut out inspiring shapes from the coloring sheets and glue them onto folded cardstock. Encourage your child to write thoughtful messages inside, perhaps even using space-themed stickers for decoration. They can create birthday cards or thank-you notes, bringing a personal touch to their correspondence. It's a great way for them to practice their writing while sharing their artistic flair!
