Cosmic crafts with their own hands: with children and for children

It's been many years since people first flew into space. Starships no longer cause such an agiotage, and their pilots do not seem like fairy-tale heroes. Modern realities are such that children often dream of being oligarchs rather than cosmonauts.

However, this does not mean at all that the interest in space has dried up among the children. Stars, aliens and intergalactic flights are still attractive in their remote mystery. And therefore among children, as before, are very popular space crafts. With their own hands, with the help of parents and teachers, kids are trained in rockets and flying saucers, space explorers and aliens. Especially often the distant stars are remembered on the eve of the Day of Astronautics.

What do cosmic crafts make of?

With their own hands, people turn everything into amazing things, anything. Plastic bottles and paper, plasticine and salted dough, cloth and foil - any material is subject to the imagination of craftsmen. Dads create starships from parts of a metal constructor, wood and cardboard, and moms - sew and knit. Children are equally welcome to any such gift. And, of course, a special delight is caused by simple crafts created with adults.

Most often, the first self-made artifacts on the theme of space are appliqués of cloth and paper. Modern techniques of volumetric application and quilling allow you to do various things.

In addition, popular among the children modeling from plasticine, mastic, salted dough. These are the materials that are always available and easily amenable to children's hands. Popular now hobby for handicrafts from plastic bottles and in a space theme has found to itself application. Fantasizers create from this improvised material not only the most diverse models of starships, but also elements of the cosmonaut's costume.

To create space crafts with our own hands is very useful for both children and adults. The maximum benefit is achieved in joint creativity. The theme of the cosmos, like no other, contributes to the development of the imagination. After all, creating, for example, an alien, the child relies only on his imagination, not limited to any framework. And, of course, these and any other crafts for children are useful for the development of fine motor skills.

In addition, if parents find time to create such handicrafts with their children, trust is established between them. While working on the craft, adults can not only answer the child's questions or listen to his stories, but also tell him a lot. For example, about the device of the solar system, vacuum and "black holes", constellations and their role in people's lives. Astronomy, astrology, physics, history - space represents an unlimited space for communication and expansion of horizons.

Do not wait for any dates and solemn events timed to "star" themes. Your children will be happy at any time to create together with you cosmic crafts with their own hands. Give them this happiness!
