Solar System Coloring Pages

Learning about our solar system can be great fun!

One of our favorite Summer activities is Meteor watching during the Perseid showers in August.

We stay up late into the wee hours watching as amazing streaks of color flash across the sky.

It’s considered one of our yearly Family traditions and it’s a fantastic way to get the kids interested in Astronomy!

(This year it will be making it’s appearance on August 13th)

When my children were younger, we learned the names of the planets by singing a song.

And while it wasn’t a Rap song, it was still just as effective at teaching them the correct order.

My youngest two children are now ready to learn about the planets so I’ve been busy drawing and creating simple resources we can use.

Jupiter Mosaic

Jupiter Crafts

Just trying to squeeze in another planet craft before we move on!

This on is a craft for children to learn about Jupiter, and more specifically, the weather on Jupiter.

I paired this up with a book called Destination Jupiter, which has lots of information about the planet Jupiter for young children.

This mosaic technique would make some beautiful classroom decorations if you did other planets as well, though I’m not sure how you would get other colors? Has anyone ever dyed beans before?

I’m thinking like Neptune Blue!

Oh Happy Day….Books

April 21, 2009 By Valerie Mcclintick 2 Comments

Earth Day Crafts

Have you ever heard of this series? Happy Day books are the perfect size for my little ones! These books make wonderful introductions to God’s creation and I love bringing them out when we’ve got a little bit of extra time to fill!

Especially around the holidays, we can learn some quick facts and focus on the reasons we’re celebrating. In tomorrow’s case, Earth Day, we’re celebrating God and his amazing creation.

The world he made for us
The creatures he placed within it, and
The job he gave to mankind to care for it.

To celebrate such a gift, we read God Made the Earth, and decorated our classroom with these festive Globes!

Sissy worked on a little bible verse copywork as well, as we put the verse from John 3:16 on the little strips of paper. You can find lots more verse options here as well.

We’ve also thought about making an entire Solar System using this technique……hmmm, something for the Summer maybe?
