How to make crafts from disks on a space theme?
CDs are already being thrown into the trash, but in vain. After all, this waste material is very suitable for souvenirs for Cosmonautics Day. Its shiny and round flat surface is very suitable for the production of unidentified flying objects.
Here is a second grader's masterpiece. She used the disk under a flying saucer with a very cute alien.
And this is the alien himself with antennas made of springs and foil.

ABOUT! And here is a whole group of funny humanoids with their own transport.)
And one more idea on how to use CDs.
Interesting ideas on the theme of Space with your own hands
First, let's look at what can be made on this topic. For younger kids, it will be possible to make (with the help of their parents) such a layout from colored paper. All the planets of our Solar System are located on it. At the same time, of course, we teach the kids the names of the planets.
Application Solar System
You can make such applications from small plasticine balls. It’s better to draw such compositions first and even paint them with flowers. And then you can roll small balls and just stick them on.
After all, it’s really possible to submit it for a competition?
Squirrel in a rocket
We make figures of astronauts and a lunar rover from salt dough. I described a simple recipe here. This material is pleasant to work with for several reasons:
- it hardens quickly and can even be placed in the oven;
- it can then be easily painted in different colors with acrylic paints or gouache;
- environmentally friendly, you can even swallow it))).
Russian cosmonauts and lunar rover
Children 4-5 years old can make simple paper rockets. This turns out to be a simple form of origami. And you can glue them onto a dark blue background, which will represent outer space.
Rockets in the universe
Let's make these funny aliens from toys, jars, tubes and plasticine.

Another option for the competition using the modular origami technique.
We turn on our imagination and use everything: polystyrene foam, tree branches, foil, wire. Bushings will even be useful for making rockets.

I hope that we have already more or less chosen something for ourselves, that we will make it and move on.
Making original works for a school competition
Let's be inspired by the ideas of the kids who won space-themed craft competitions. They all tried, working out every detail in their masterpieces.
Any available materials were used in the work. These are twine, foam balls as planets, glass pebbles, felt and much more.

And here is a magnificent model made from plastic bottles.
We use felt for voluminous applique.

Beautiful applique made from napkin balls.
To make it, you need to roll out many, many balls from colored paper napkins. But the work seems to be worth it!

A little imagination on the theme of the galaxy, starships and UFOs - and a wonderful work is ready for the competition!
Simple crafts for kids in kindergarten on Cosmonautics Day
I suggest making a rocket with the kids from a sleeve (you can even use toilet paper) and colored paper. It turns out such a long and stable little thing that can be placed on a blue background and next to an astronaut figurine.
Add some foil and you'll have a more realistic spacecraft.
Let's make a starship out of paper. You can do this simply according to the diagram below.
And here is the finished version. Color it as you wish.
Or we’ll make an unidentified flying machine out of thick paper. You can make several of these things and put them again on the blue sky.
Look how colorful and at the same time original UFOs we produce.
Let's use the baby's favorite toy - plasticine. It is pliable, soft and adheres well to almost any surface.
Here are some applications you can make with it in disposable plates.
Saucers - open space
Oh, and we parted ways! Let's sculpt a cute alien. It will look good next to a paper flying saucer.
Funny alien
Don't feel like folding paper? So let's blind her too, because there is a lot of plasticine!
When working with plasticine, the first thing you need to do is explain to children that this is an inedible material and should not be put into their mouth.
