Parents of children attending school or kindergarten often face assignments to perform this or that craft with a child for a thematic school exhibition or simply within the framework of passable material. Sometimes crafts with a child are an easy task, and parents are happy to take on them, helping their child. But there are also topics that puzzle, and it's hard for parents to figure out what can be done with the child in the context of the desired task. One such are children's crafts on the theme of "Space."
The Craft of the Spacecraft
The most common hand-crafted item and the first thing that comes to mind when you ask you to make an article on a space theme is a spaceship.
Space ship with fuel tanks
To create a traditional spacecraft we will need:
- cardboard rolls of different sizes;
- cardboard;
- sheets of A4 paper;
- foil;
- white cup from yoghurt;
- lids from plastic bottles;
- colored paper or markers;
- scissors;
- glue;
- double sided tape.
- At the first stage, we will manufacture the missile hull. To do this, take the longest cardboard roll or glue it from two small rolls. From white cardboard we will make for the rocket body a sharp tip. The roll itself needs to be pasted with white paper. To ensure that the paper is not deformed, it is better to do this with a double-sided tape. To make the rocket body more realistic, we also paste stripes of paper and foil on it or draw them with felt-tip pens.
- For the manufacture of the nozzle and fuel tanks of the future spacecraft, we take cardboard rolls of shorter length than the missile body, in an amount of 6 pieces. Two rolls should be a bit larger diameter, the rest - the same.
- Carton rolls of larger diameter are pasted with white paper. To make the tips we take the cardboard and make cones out of it, which are then glued to the rolls. Bottom the holes of the rolls with white paper and glue the caps from the bottles of red color. The rocket nozzles are ready!
- Rolls of smaller diameter are also pasted with white paper and we produce for them sharp tips made of white cardboard. We glue the tips to the rolls.
- Fuel tanks and nozzles at own discretion are pasted with foil, colored paper or colored with felt-tip pens. We glue them to the shell of the rocket.
- In order for the rocket to stand, we glue it to an inverted cup from under yoghurt. The spaceship is ready!

Cheerful rocket in quilling technique
For the manufacture of a rocket we will need:
- strips of corrugated paper for quilling of different colors;
- needle for quilling;
- PVA glue;
- scissors.
1. Using a special needle from quilling paper, we make blanks for the subsequent assembly of the rocket. In total we will need:
- 9 circles of large diameter for the missile shell;
- 2 circles of smaller diameter for the windows;
- 2 triangles for the wings of the spaceship;
- 2 large cones for the front and back of the ship;
- 4 small cones that will be rocket nozzles;
- Small swirling strips that will be fire.

Before tightening visible parts, you can glue strips for quilling different colors. This will give an even more colorful rocket.
2. We glue all parts of the rocket, and it's ready!
Children's crafts about space with their own hands
Any object of the cosmos can become an oddity for a thematic exhibition: from an astronaut to planets and comets. Preschoolers to make them will still be difficult, so we offer no less interesting, but easy-to-perform space object - satellite.
To make a satellite we will need:
- polystyrene balls of different diameters;
- toothpicks.
