Katydid Preschool: January and Space!

You would assume that December is the kids' favorite month of the year, but I would think space takes a close second. January can be dismal here and the weather not cooperative enough to keep us cooped up most days. Space gives us the distraction we need.

First we start with our shape pictures. This month we use mostly triangles to put together a rocket. once we do this we can see how we are going to draw our own. Then they add some aliens, etc.

We slowly put our own space together patterned after this poster. They make great posters in their rooms when done. The sun is painted but the rest of the planets are just colored.

This is where I got my printables: Space printables and Planets. They are amazing!

The Rocket and Moon week is my favorite. The joy paper rockets create....

These are just paper towel rolls with a tip cut and taped and painted red. We then do black triangles for wings, just stapled and then yellow fire out the bottom.
