Project work “Man and Space”

Space applique

Even small children can make this application. After all, the manufacturing technique is as simple as possible.

Paper rocket

A very beautiful applique can be made for children for Cosmonautics Day. Despite the simplicity of the image, these crafts look great:

First we select the background, it is blue, dark blue, black.
We will lay out the pre-prepared parts of the craft on colored paper or cardboard. Children from 3-4 years old can cope with this work.
Details - the main part of the rocket, a round window, triangular wings. We glue everything one by one.
Paste it carefully. We decorate the sky with golden stars.
Children of older groups will perform a more complex applique. They themselves draw the parts according to the template and cut them out. Details are placed on the background.

A rocket made of silver paper on a black outer space background, impressive:

cut out the nose and wings from blue paper;
round windows - portholes, made of red, on which we apply smaller white circles;
highlight the back compartment with a blue stripe, put a cut-out fire from red paper, put a yellow cut-out on it, it is smaller in size.

It remains to depict 2-3 planets and stars. The beauty of the craft is obvious.

Volume applique

The same craft made from corrugated cardboard looks great. The paper parts are glued to the background, and the same cardboard parts are glued to them with double tape. The result is a three-dimensional application.

From beads and beads

On drawings depicting constellations, draw stars using a stencil:

Select small beads and seed beads in yellow, red, and blue colors.
Apply glue to the outline, lay out the ornamental material along the outline, then small beads and beads, distribute evenly with a stick over the entire star. It turns out beautifully.
So we fill all the constellations with decor.

Choose the background at your discretion.

Using the same technique, you can make other objects: the moon, a comet, a satellite, to the main decoration, it doesn’t hurt to add elements of voluminous decorative stickers and distribute them along the contour.

Cardboard postcard

On the outer part of the postcard, depict a rocket with a cut-out porthole; the astronaut, depicted on the inside and glued to a paper spring, should look out of this window:

We must try to ensure that the image of the face in the helmet falls exactly into the lens of the window.
The color of the postcard is blue, with a brilliant image of the object.
We draw one or more astronauts according to the template, color them, and cut them out.
We make a spring from a small strip of paper folded into an accordion. Glue one end to the card, the other to the person.
We unfold the postcard and see the starry sky, an astronaut who has “walked” into outer space.

Salt dough rocket

Children are given a rolling pin to roll out a piece of dough, cut out the body according to the template, the windows can be removed, holes can be left in this place, or an overhead window can be made:

Add a triangle-shaped bow and compartments to the main craft, and add fire too.
Cut out using a star shape. We pierce all the products, leaving holes for making a pendant. If desired, the product can be used this way.
Place the product in the oven to dry.
Color with colors at the child's discretion.
Now our rocket can fly to distant stars. On a purple or blue background, spray white paint - small stars. Glue the craft.

Drawing

Of all kinds of artistic creativity, the theme of astronautics is best expressed in a drawing.

You can depict a rocket, as well as spaceships, lunar rovers, satellites. Kids are just starting to use paints, but older children can do more serious work.

Preschoolers should be asked to draw a drawing of an astronaut in a helmet, a rocket, and the earth:

We divide the sheet into three parts and roughly outline where the figures will be.
On the right side we draw a large round head, a rectangular body, arms and legs in voluminous clothes.
Inside the circle we draw a square - a spacesuit. Let's draw the person's face.
On the left we draw a round earth. You can draw a circle according to the template to depict the continents.
At the top of the picture is a spaceship, we draw it small, it is in the background, the child will do it himself: a triangle, a circle.
A cord stretches from the ship to the astronaut’s spacesuit, draw a line. Our hero in outer space!
You can decorate with colored pencils, crayons: Blue earth, a bright astronaut suit, everything is at the child’s discretion.

It is advisable to paint over the entire sheet of the drawing, without leaving any white spots.

With younger schoolchildren, you can depict more complex objects, use a palette, and mix paints.

Having depicted satellites, ships, planets with a simple pencil, you need to paint over them with suitable colors, in addition to this, we make the background of the picture from mixed colors, for example, blue, cyan, a little red, mix, paint over the surface, you get a mysterious space.

Or you can start the image not with objects, but with the background: paint a sheet of paper blue and purple, add blue, white, spray white, yellow paints, when dry, draw white objects on a beautiful background - an astronaut, a ship, a planet. The drawing is a miracle!

The benefits of making crafts

By involving children in making crafts that can be used to decorate a home, group, classroom, or formal hall, an adult creates in children satisfaction from collective festive activities.

It wouldn’t hurt to mention the world’s first cosmonaut, the creators of rockets, and walking on the moon. Let children know from an early age who made the dream come true.

In addition, the child learns a lot of new things: how a rocket works, what kind of work astronauts do, what the solar system is, what the planets are made of, how many civilizations exist, how they go into outer space.

Children have the most incredible questions.

We can satisfy their curiosity, because the desire to be explorers and discoverers grows in little people. And there are still so many mysteries of space.
