Craft

Alien Creations! 

Supplies:
  • Ellison stamps
  • Construction paper
  • Black cardstock
  • Pom poms
  • Sequins
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Crayons
  • Google eyes

Before working on our craft, we played a few rounds of spaceship game toss! I created the spaceship using an old box and poster board. I decorated the outside with glitter stars and planet cutouts.




The kids really enjoyed the program! Their favorite story was Moonday. The kids had a blast making their space aliens. I should have taken pictures of their projects. Much more intricate and creative than my aliens. The spaceship game toss was a great way to get out any remaining energy before working on the crafts.
