10 Out-of-This-World Stargazing Crafts for Kids

Scissors, cardboard and yarn make these planets uniquely out of this world. Dyan at And Next Comes L recommends this project for crafting a colorful solar system while working on those fine motor skills. Use colors matching those of the real planets; once completed, kids can play with the yarn-wrapped planets by placing them in the proper order from the sun.

This is a fantastic craft for recycling old cardboard and bits of yarn left over from your knitting and crochet projects.
