Space Craft Ideas

1. Planet Suncatchers – Use freezer paper, glue, and tissue paper to create planet-shaped sun catchers. Hang them in the window to catch the light and create a beautiful space-themed display.

2. DIY Space Helmets: Set up a craft station where the kids can make their very own space helmets using cardboard boxes, silver paint, and some colorful stickers. They’ll love wearing them during the party and pretending they’re on a mission to explore the galaxy.

3. Planet Mobile: With some Styrofoam balls, paint, and string, the kids can make their own planet mobiles to hang in their bedrooms. They can paint each planet to look like the real thing, or come up with their own unique designs.

4. Moon Sand: Kids can explore sensory play with this soft moon sand. Provide containers for them to be able to take some sand home and it doubles as a party favor!

5. Space Alien Handprint Craft – Use green paint to make a handprint on paper, and then use markers or paint to add eyes, antennae, and other alien features. It’s a great way to make your own little green man.

6. Moon Rocks: Using some salt dough and silver glitter, the kids can make their own moon rocks to take home as a party favor. They can shape the dough into rocks and then sprinkle the glitter on top to make them look like they’re covered in moon dust.

7. Alien Headbands: For a fun and silly craft, have the kids make alien headbands using green pipe cleaners and googly eyes. They can wear them throughout the party and make funny alien noises.

8. Food Art Constellations: Use pretzels and marshmallows to craft your own space constellations. These are super simple to make and you can print out these free constellation cards by The Moments At Home. The kids can learn while they play with their food!

9. Galaxy Snow Globe: A jar with a lid, food coloring, baby oil, and glitter make these galaxy snow globes and quick and fun space party craft. Glue the lid on and the kids will be able to play with them time and time again, imagining what it would be like to float in space!

10. Space Slime: Make some DIY space slime using glue, contact solution, baking soda, and glitter. The kids can customize their slime with different colors and glitter to make it look like a planet or a galaxy.
