Free Space Crafts, Astronaut Crafts, Activities, and Printables

Children love to learn about space, astronauts, spaceships, and planets. Here are some lesson plan ideas:

The Earth (Day and Night)
The Sun
The Moon
Spaceships and Austronauts
Planets and Stars

Space Learning Center Ideas

Dramatic Play Area

Place different hats, flannel shirts, and pants inside the dramatic play area. Let children dress up as a scarecrow and stand on one leg.

Block Center

Add some egg cartons and small bowls and a large white bed sheet together with spaceships, astronaut figures, and alien toys. Let children make craters with the egg cartons and bowls and cover it with the white sheet to make the moon's surface.

Small World Play Area

On the Moon. Make some moon sand and place inside a large flat container. Add some astronaut and spaceship toys and some rocks. Let children create craters with the sand.

Fine Motor Skills

Show children a picture of the moon's surface. Provide some white and a little bit of black play dough. Let children mix the two colors together and roll it into a ball. Then flatten it. Invite children to create some craters to their moon surface.

Our Earth and Day and Night Preschool Activities and Games (Activities and printables are available inside our KidsSoup Resource Library)

The Earth

Ask children if they know the name of the planet we live on. Explain that the Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system. Show a solar system poster. Let children find Earth.
Make an earth craft.
Day and Night (Science, Oral Language)

Show children a globe. Find your state on the globe and shine a flashlight on it. Explain that the flashlight is the sun and when the earth faces the sun where we live, it's daytime. Explain that the Earth rotate around its axis once in a day.Let one child hold the flashlight and slowly turn the globe until your state is at the opposite of the ligth. Explain that when the earth rotates away from the sun, it will get darker and darker and it becomes nighttime. Write the words Night and Day on the board. Ask children which kind of activities they do in each daytime. What kind of things can they see in the day or in the night. Write the answers on the board.

Drawing and Writing Activity

Let children fold a piece of paper in half. Let them copy and write the words "Night" and "Day" to the top. Encourage children to draw and write about the things they do and see in the different daytimes.

Movement Activity
Glue a sun and a moon to a craft stick. Hold up the moon and ask children what time of day we see the moon. Then let children pretend to be sleeping. Next, ring a little bell and show the sun. Let children slowly wake and walk around. After a while hold up the moon again. Repeat a couple of times.

Make a Day and Night Sky Mural
Place a large mural paper on the wall. Divide the paper in to two sections and label the sections with "Night" and "Day." One day let children paint the night sky gray and black. The next day let them paint the night sky with blue paint. Over the next few days, let children draw, paint, and cut out their artworks and glue them to the matching sky.
Day and Night Critters
Talk about the animals that are active during the day and the animals that sleep during the day.

The Sun Preschool Activities and Games

The Sun

Show children a poster of the sun. Explain that the sun is a star, that is, a sphere of hot, glowing gases. Ask children what they feel and see when it's a sunny day. The air gets warmer, wet streets dry, etc. Ask children if the sun's rays fall to Earth like rain. Explain that the sun shines on the Earth giving off light and heat. Sing the weather song:

(Tune: The Bear Went Over the Mountain)
The sun shines on the rooftop,
the rooftop, the rooftop.
The sun shines on the rooftop
on a sunny day.

Invite children to name something else the sun shines on and repeat the song with these substitutions.

Sun and Moon Craft
Cut out a moon and a sun shape out of card stock paper. Let children decorate the sun with yellow and orange tissue paper and the moon with white and gray tissue paper.
Make a Sun Catcher Craft
The Moon Preschool Activities and Games

The Moon

The moon lies some 384,400 kilometers from Earth. It has many mountains, valleys, old volcanoes, and many craters. The moon is great to explore because it can be seen it without a telescope or binoculars. Recite moon rhyme and ask children to imagine the different faces of the moon. Explain that it seems that the moon changes shape. This is because, as it orbits Earth, different parts of the moon facing us are lit up by the sun's light. Moon "phases" occur when Earth blocks some, or all of the sunlight that reflects from the moon's surface.
Rhyme:
Play a game with me, Mr. Moon.
Can you look like a white balloon?
Can you hide half of your face
and move around high up in space?
Can you look like a smile on its side?
I can't see you where do you hide.

Show the different moon phases using the moon chart. Have children place the phases in order.

Moon Rocks

Go outside and collect some rocks. Let children color and decorate the rocks with paint and glitter glue.

Spaceships and Austronauts Activities and Games

Astronauts

Astronauts travel to space to collect information for scientist to study. Astronauts sometimes also have to fix spacecrafts once they're in space. Living in space is very different from living on Earth. Here on Earth we are surrounded by air, but there is no air in space, which is why astronauts need to wear spacesuits and helmets. Also in space nothing has weight and you need to wear a spacesuit to go outside the spaceship. (Craft: Astronaut Helmet)

Astronaut Finger Rhyme

Four Little Astronauts
Four little astronauts winking at me,(Hold up fingers as rhyme indicates.)
One blasts off, now there are three.

Three little astronauts with nothing to do,
One blasts off, now there are two.

Two little astronauts afraid of the Sun,
One blasts off, now there is one.

One little astronaut alone is no fun,
He blasts off, now there are none.
The Spacesuit
Spacesuits are very bulky and very thick. They protect the astronaut from the sun's heat and the cold. The spacesuit has a backpack that contains air to breathe. The helmet has a dark visor to shield the astronaut from the sun's glare. The space shoes are heavy help to the astronaut to walk on the moon. (Make our sponge space shoes.)
Living in Space
Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags that hold them down, so that they do not float away while they're sleeping. Eating and drinking is tricky in space. You can't drink from a cup because liquid won't stay and will float around. Astronauts drink through a straw from a plastic pack, and space food is sticky so it sticks to the plates. (Snack idea: Make some space drinks using plastic bags and drinking straws.)
Satellites
Satellites are spacecrafts that we have sent to space to collect information from a planet and radio them back to Earth. We also use satellites to beam information and TV programs around the world.
Rockets
We use rockets to carry astronauts and things into space. Rockets are the only engines that can give enough power and speed to get the spacecraft into space. The fuel burning in the engine rushes out of the nozzle and pushes the rocket forward. Just like if you blow a wrapper from a straw. (See our straw rocket activity to explain and experience the science behind it.)
The Space Shuttle
The space shuttle can lift off into space just like a rocket and then come back to Earth like a huge glider. When the shuttle returns to Earth through the atmosphere, it gets very hot. Special tiles protect the spaceship from the heat so that it doesn?t burn up and can be used again for the next space flight. (Craft: Make a shuttle glider.)

Planets and Stars Activities and Games

Model Clay Planets
Mix two colors of model clay together. Stop mixing when you get a marbled look. For texture, poke and shape the surface with a craft stick, plastic fork, or pencil.
Planets Word Wall Cards
Star or Planet Suncatcher
Form a pipe cleaner into a star or planet. Press it flat on a piece of parchment paper or plastic. Pour some white glue into a paper cup and add a few drops of paint. Mix with a craft stick. Pour the mixture into the form and sprinkle some glitter on it. Let it dry clear at least 24 hours. Gently pull the form from the paper or plastic and attach a ribbon or yarn to make a hanger.

Constellation Art
Place star stickers on a piece of black paper. Have children connect the stars with a white crayon to make their own constellation. What does it look like. Give your constellation a name.

Space and Astronauts Preschool Activities, Lessons, Games, and Printables

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Space and astronaut preschool activities, games, and worksheets. Have you ever looked at the night sky and wondered, "What else is out there?" Space exploration is a natural extension of human curiousity. People want to know what is outside their world. The Universe is everything that exists.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The official definition of a constellation is an area of the sky with defined boundaries, all stars and any other objects within that boundary are considered part of the constellation.

Historically and in common language stars that form patterns in the night sky are also referred to as constellations.

In modern scientific language stars that form patterns are known as asterisms, asterisms usually fall within a single constellation and bare the same name but they can also be part of multiple constellations.

There are 88 official constellations which are recognized by the International Astronomical Union.

Some constellations are only visible in the northern hemisphere, while others are only visible in the southern hemisphere.

Constellations that are visible in both hemispheres may appear upside down in the southern hemisphere.

A few constellations can be viewed all year long but most are seasonal and can only be viewed at certain times of the year.

Distant galaxies and nebulae also form parts of constellations.

The sun is the only known star in our galaxy which is not part of a constellation.

History of Constellations

For as long as mankind has walked the Earth it is likely we have always recognized patterns formed by stars in the night sky. Some European cave paintings that date back over 10,000 years bare the marks of star formations that are familiar to us even to this day. The earliest official records of constellations were made more than 3,000 years ago by the Babylonians, an ancient civilization based in what is now modern day Iraq. The twelve signs of the zodiac are based on their observations and those of their predecessors.

In the 4th century BC these zodiacal constellations and others recorded by the Babylonians were introduced into ancient Greek culture by the astronomer Eudoxus of Cnidus. Some five hundred years later the Greco-Roman scientist Claudius Ptolemy listed 48 constellations in his book Almagest, these constellations and the names he gave them exist to this day and are the basis for all the 88 official constellations listed by the International Astronomical Union.

Understanding Star Charts

To find constellations you'll need a star chart, these give you a snapshot of what the night sky will look like at any one time and at any one location. The star chart above shows you how the night sky will look above most of the United States at 8 pm in late January. These maps may seem rather baffling and confusing at first but they're actually very simple to use. To simplify matters the chart above only shows constellations but normally they will also indicate prominent stars, galaxies, nebulae and planets.

The first thing you may notice is that east and west seem to be the wrong way round, but if you imagine holding the chart above your head, which is how they are designed to be used, it becomes apparent this is not the case. The outer edge of the chart indicates the horizon, so the further the stars are from the edge the higher they will be in the sky.

The center of the chart shows the stars and constellations that will be directly overhead, so the map above shows you that the constellations of Auriga, Taurus and Perseus will be directly above you at that time.

To find your bearings it is helpful to find Polaris, the star which always points north. First find the famous Big Dipper, which is part of the constellation Ursa Major and visible all year in the Northern hemisphere, draw an imaginary line through the outer two stars of the Big Dipper's bowl and you will come to Polaris, which is the brightest star in the constellation of Ursa Minor. In the Southern hemisphere it is helpful to find the Southern Cross, which always points south, this is done by drawing a line through the bright stars Alpha and Beta Centauri.

Once you have found your bearings you can start searching out constellations and the objects they contain. Using the chart above if you look south you'll notice the constellation of Orion, perhaps the most recognizable constellation of them all. As well as the Orion nebula the constellation also contains the bright supergiant stars Betelgeuse and Rigel. Overhead and to the west you'll find the Andromeda constellation which contains the Andromeda Galaxy, the most distant object that can be viewed with the naked eye. There are many other fascinating objects to look out for and a star chart will be essential in guiding you around the night sky.

Stars do not stay fixed in the night sky, as the Earth rotates they change position, as a result the night sky will look different at midnight from what it did several hours before or after. Most constellations are also seasonal, meaning that ones that are visible in winter may not be visible in summer and vice-versa, so sky charts usually come in seasonal versions. Constellations may also be drawn slightly differently on each chart and it's also worth noting that there are separate charts for the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Now that Jax is being homeschooled, I tend to make his quietbooks more educational. (My current project is a huge world map and continent book!) I am so happy that I made a solar system quietbook page a while back, as Jax suddenly showed interest in the planets. We've been studying the solar system for a couple weeks now and my little smarty pants just loves reciting the planet names and answering questions about them!

Our Solar System Unit (age 3)
Felt Planets & 3-Part Cards
We have been working with the quietbook page, plus using the felt planets on their own to match with some 3-part word and photo cards. You can use my free pattern and instructions to sew your own planet set.

You could even use the template with colored card stock instead of felt to make a no-sew set of the planets: Cut out the pattern pieces, then cut around them on colored card stock. Embellish with pens or colored pencils. Use a glue stick to piece each planet together, then laminate them to keep them safe and sturdy.

I am providing my 3-part cards free for educational use! Click here to download the pdf. To assemble, print out the cards ad cut them out. Glue them to card stock backs, then laminate and trim. I just got this laminator .

Planet Art
We did a simple art project one day. I asked Jax to choose a favorite planet photo card from the basket and had him bring his jar of colored pencils to the table. I asked him to pick out all the colors he saw in the photo, then gave him a sheet of white paper with a circle drawn on it to color in.

I cut out the circle, then he glued it to some black paper. He used a white pencil to make stars. I wrote the planet name down as he read the letter we needed off the card.
Solar System Fetch
Today is a rainy day, so I used our big chalkboard for this game, but your sidewalk or driveway would work great! Draw the solar system and ask your little one to "Go fetch!" a certain planet. Ask for them by name or number ("Go fetch the planet that is the 3rd from the sun!") or even by a fun fact ("Go fetch the biggest planet!") Kids love to get up and move while they learn!

I stumbled upon a cute, simple planet song on YouTube that Jax adores. We usually close out a solar system activity by singing this song together. This song helped him learn and remember the names of the planets.

There is also a longer song with facts about each one.
Mobile Montessori's Planets of the Solar System App We bought this app ourselves and this review is our own honest opinion of it.
We purchased Mobile Montessori's Planets of the Solar System app to reinforce what we were studying. It cost $1.99. It includes a learning center with audio clip facts about the sun and the 8 planets, a planet size game (drag the planets into place), a small demonstration comparing orbit speeds and a 3 part card activity.

We only have the original iPad - a hand-me-down one at that. We have some trouble with the app crashing, but Mobile Montessori confirmed it is due to our older device. They have great support and offered this tip:

Here's a tip: Double-click the home button on the iPad and all the apps that are "paused" in the background will show up at the bottom. You can "turn them off" by holding one of them down with your finger until they all wiggle. Then touch each one and they will shut down completely. Shut them all down and I bet our Solar System app will run smoother for you!

The app itself is pretty, combining the beauty of the planets in our solar system with the simplistic design that Montessori uses. Jax doesn't use the learning center too much on his own, but we have begun to listen to the facts together. He enjoys dragging the planets into place in the scale game. He always comments on how tiny Mercury is - just a little speck next to big Jupiter! We don't get that comparison with our felt planets or photo cards.

The 3-part cards are just like the ones I made, so Jax knew just what to do. They will be good for him to revisit the activity on his own. I really like the idea of watching the planets orbit the sun. It is Jax's first experience with how the solar system is actually laid out. However, it is small on the screen and crashes the most of all the parts of the game.

At just $2, the app has been a good fit for our solar system unit. We are looking forward to getting more into the facts as we circle back through this unit.
Planet Counting
Jax created this activity on his own. After matching our felt planets and 3-part cards, he ran to get our bowl of glass pebble counters. He then counted out the correct number of pebbles for each planet.

We have a lot more we are planning to do with the solar system, but this has been a great start!
