Though it’s taking a side seat to any Holiday related activities, for the next couple of weeks we’ll be talking about the solar system. A favorite theme for this age group, we’ve started our study with many fantastic library books and both group and individual rocket ship projects.
When making a giant paper mache rocketship, it helps if your husband has just purchased a hedge trimmer with a weirdly shaped box.
Next step… prepare the flour, salt, water, and shredded newspaper.
Applying paper mache can be a messy business so when weather permits, it’s best to do it outside.
Painting smaller rocket ships is messy, too. Glad we have smocks!
Finally a few fun shots from the week.
