Crafts for the Day of Cosmonautics. A selection of ideas for April 12 for kindergarten and school

Posted on April 1, 2018

Good afternoon, dear friends, very soon the whole country will celebrate a magnificent holiday dedicated to the Day of Cosmonautics. This topic fascinates and intrigues not only adults, but also children.

There is a reason to do with your child a small craft for Cosmonautics Day with your own hands. Below is a list of what can be done and how to do it. Small crafts that will not be difficult to assemble from improvised means that can be found at home. There are various ideas for crafts, both simpler and more complicated. I tried to collect the most original crafts for almost any age. So you will have plenty to choose from.

Of course, the main idea for crafts is a rocket and everything connected with it. It was on our rocket assembled in our country that Yuri Gagarin made the first space flight. The flight was made on April 12, 1961. Since then, mankind has taken a long step in the development of the space industry. But it all started with small models assembled at home. Here we will join the general theme. Next, we will try to properly prepare for Victory Day on May 9th. By this date, another article will be published about what crafts can be done for this, I will not be afraid of this word for the Great Holiday.

And so let's start with the simplest thing that can be done simply and quickly without much effort.
You will need thick cardboard or a sleeve from toilet paper or paper towels. Colored paper, scissors and glue.

In order for your rocket to stand confidently on the table, we will attach its small stand. The stand will also act as engines.

If desired, you can make a larger rocket. This will require more cardboard, but the best building material for homemade rockets is, of course, cardboard boxes.

And from such rockets you can assemble a 3-D drawing.

Or assemble such a large rocket using plastic bottles as a building material. Cut a few pieces and put them together.

Well, if you give the assembly a little more time. Then you can collect such beauty. Almost a real model.

Also, together with the rocket, try to build a flying saucer with aliens. Plastic or cardboard plates are great for building.

An excellent material for flying saucers can be your old CDs or DVDs.

It is not difficult to make the aliens themselves from discs and caps from kinder surprises. Glue the cap to the disc and insert beaded skewers as legs.
And for the manufacture of alien tentacles, ordinary paper clips are perfect.

Of course, in every flying saucer there is a cockpit; we will make it from a plastic cup by putting the pilot in the cockpit. And we will make a plate from two disposable plates by gluing them together.

Well, of course, where without the good old plasticine. From it I think we all got just masterpieces.

As you can see, the most simple and ordinary things can be used as a building material. But what beautiful crafts are obtained and I think that not only you and your child will like them.

And if you want to do something on a larger scale, see what you can do with a little imagination.

By Cosmonautics Day, you can build not only a rocket or a saucer, you can make a whole planet. Here is an example of how to create papier-mâché jupiter.

Or create a whole universe out of plasticine. By the way, you can collect several new planets and name them after mom or dad.

Craft Ideas for Kindergarten

Now let's take a closer look at a few crafts for young children, namely about preschool children from kindergarten. Here you can build both rockets and beautiful pictures using the application.
The simplest and most inexpensive is the modeling of Martians from plasticine.

You can also split the group into several creative cells.

Next applique rocket. You will need several sheets of colored paper, scissors and glue.

In order to assemble a flying saucer, take two plastic or paper saucers and glue them together with the convex side out. Color them freely. Here, of course, every child can show their imagination.
Next, we blind the passenger from plasticine. And we put it in the cabin of the plastic cup. Which is attached with glue.

Now we will make a rocket where you can make a child as astronauts. You will need colored paper or felt.

We glue blanks on a sheet of cardboard to make a rocket, and paste a photo of a child into the window. Here is such a beauty.

You can even make a group flight into space.

But this rocket is made using the quilling technique. This is when objects are assembled from strips of paper twisted into a spiral.

You can also print out the outlines of the rockets and distribute them to the children so that they can paint them with paints as they wish.
The result of all crafts is, of course, an exhibition of works.
Here is an example of the walls of the newspaper from the rockets that the kids in kindergarten made.

The easiest paper and cardboard crafts

Well, of course, the simplest thing you can think of is to take an ordinary coloring book and make an excellent picture out of it using felt-tip pens or paints.




And using colored paper and colored cardboard, you can create your own universe.

Making beautiful crafts for school

For school, of course, something more complicated is needed. Therefore, by the day of cosmonautics, this time we will build not a rocket, not a saucer, but such an alien from foil.

Also for the school, you can make a homemade satellite of the earth from improvised means. How to do this, watch the video clip in which the assembly process is described in detail.

There is a great idea for a composition on a space theme. To do this, take a small cardboard box and prepare it by painting it in a suitable background.
Cut out and paste the stars from the smokleyka.
Find something semicircular and wrap it with foil. It will be a small space flying object.
Next, using plasticine, we will attach improvised antennas and solar panels to it.
From cardboard and colored paper we will build a rocket. From foil we will make 1-2 astronauts.
And then we place all the made objects on our cosmic surface.

Or you can completely mold astronauts from the Barboskiny series from plasticine.

But these characters can be made from cardboard and ordinary tin cans.

Make a space appliqué and decorate it with a beautiful pasta frame.

Try to mold planets from plasticine by placing them on a beautiful stand.

Or such a picture can be obtained from the same plasticine.
