Space Crafts For Kids

I have really enjoyed creating this month’s Tots 100 #BostickBlogger craft which is based on the theme space. It’s a theme I actually enjoy and you can check out last year’s space crafts I created too for extra ideas.  I hope you like these crafts. Let me know what you think of them. 

Space Crafts For Kids – Button Moon Craft

What you’ll need:-

• Bostik Fine & Wide Glu Pen
• Yellow Buttons
• Stick on Stars
• Black Card
• Sequence

Step 1

I loved Button Moon as a child and this inspired my craft. Take your black cardboard and draw your moon outline.

Step 2

Once you have the moon outline. It’s time to start adding your buttons.

Step 3

Use the Bostik Fine and Wide Glu stick to stick on buttons.

Step 4

We felt since it was a moon it was best to do it with yellow buttons, but it’s your own choice.

Step 5

Add your yellow buttons to the full moon shape.

Step 6

Continue to add to the moon shape yellow buttons.

Step 7

Once you have all the buttons filled in, it makes the moon shape.

Step 8

Add the sequence to the spaces in between the buttons.

Step 9

The moon taking shape.

Step 10

Add sticky stars to your cardboard to add an extra effect to your moon.

Step 11

Our button moon craft. I cannot wait to make more of these in different options.

Space Crafts For Kids – Window Star

What you’ll need:-

• String or ribbon
• Lolly-pop sticks
• Cellophane
• Bostik Glu Foam Pads

Step 1

Take your lolly-pop sticks and stick them together using Bostik Sticky Pads.

Step 2

Stick the sticks together in the shape of a star.

Step 3

Create your star outline.

Step 4

Next, add cellophane to the star.

Step 5

Start to cut it to the size for the star.

Step 6

I found that the Bostik Glu Dots worked better at holding the cellophane in place. Cut the cellophane into the triangle shape of the star.

Step 7

Keep adding the cellophane until all the triangles are covered.

Step 8

Turn over it should look like this.

Step 9

Add the string to your star for hanging up.

Step 10 

Hang up on a window and see the light change through it. We think these would look great with a lot of them together.

Space Crafts For Kids – Galaxy Slime

What You’ll Need:- 

• Bostik White Glu
• Contact Lens Solution
• Bicarbonate Soda
• Stars and glitter
• Food Colouring
• Tub

Step 1

Add a small amount of Bostik Glu to your tub.

Step 2

Add a quarter of a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the glue.

Step 3

Stir until dissolved.

Step 4

Add a small amount of food colouring. We used gel food colouring and chose purple to make it galaxy style.

Step 5 

Add stars and glitter to your glue.

Step 6

Mix all together.

Step 7

Add 4 drops of contact lens solution. The solution must contain boric acid to react with the bicarb.

Step 8

Mix the solution altogether. It should start to go spider web-like. If it still really sticks add a few more drops of contact lens solution.

Step 9

You want to knead the slime for about twenty minutes and it will start to get less sticky and more slime like. If it’s too sticky you can add some more solution, however, add too much and it will start to snap.

Step 10

Galaxy slime stretching. What do you think? It’s easier and less messy than you think.

Pin for later. 

There are our space crafts. I do love button crafts, so I might do more of these. Would you like to see more? We’d love to know if you make any of them.
