The oddity "Cosmonaut"

Space spaces at all times attract attention and cause interest in adults and children. Researchers of interplanetary spaces - astronauts, become the characters of children's games and role models. Nothing will so delight the child, wandering in space adventures, as a proposal to make a cosmonaut's craft or part of his equipment from improvised materials: paper or plasticine. Such an article can be a good version of the thematic assignment for the Day of Astronautics .

How to make an astronaut from plasticine?

A plasticine cosmonaut can be made in several ways. For any of them we will need a multi-colored plasticine and a little imagination.

Crafted cosmonaut from plasticine - method 1

  1. For a helmet we roll a ball of red plasticine, and make a space suit by turning a spring from a long sausage of blue color. We also roll our hands and feet out of spirals.
  2. We make a porthole for a helmet of plasticine yellow or white, we will depict a face on it.
  3. Attach the shoes and gloves of red plasticine to the suit.
  4. From small strips of red plasticine we blind the space equipment and attach it to the spacesuit.

Crafted cosmonaut from plasticine - method 2

  1. For the head, roll two balls: the larger of the gray plasticine - for the helmet, and the smaller of the pink plasticine - for the face. The pink ball is flattened into a flat cake and attached to the helmet. Let's decorate the face.
  2. For the trunk we roll a roller of orange plasticine, we cut the stack to the middle, we form the legs. From small rollers we roll our hands. From plasticine green color gloves and shoes are blind.
  3. We will connect all the details of our astronaut.
  4. We'll equip the cosmonaut for the trip, attach equipment and oxygen bottles to the suit.

Crafted cosmonaut from plasticine - method 3

  1. Form the head and body of the astronaut, rolling two large balls.
  2. For each hand, roll down five small colored balls, and three balls a little more - for each leg.
  3. We will make an overlay on the suit of orange plasticine, attach it to the trunk, and on top we attach the control panel from three different colored small balls.
  4. From the white plasticine we make a porthole, we shall edge it with a thin red strip.
  5. From black plasticine we will make headphones and fix them on the helmet.

How to make an astronaut out of paper?

One of the ways to make an astronaut out of paper is to print out the details of the craft with the help of a printer and connect it with PVA glue.

Craft paper "Helmet of the Astronaut"

A real cosmonaut without a helmet can not do, so start to make it. For the craft we need:

Manufacturing

  1. We will make the helmet base. To do this, tear the paper into small pieces, moisten with water and lay out in one layer on the ball.
  2. Another three or four layers of paper laid out, wetting it in a diluted 1: 1 glue PVA.
  3. We will postpone the artifice until it dries completely (12-24 hours), then pierce the ball and cut out the hole for the head and under the porthole. We make the edging of the porthole and the holes for the head from the cardboard circles.
  4. We glue the plugs from plastic bottles to the helmet, imitating the headphones.

Application "Cosmonaut"

We need:

Manufacturing

  1. We add one sheet of blue paper in half so that the edges coincide. We measure 4 cm from below and from above, we make marks with a pencil. We draw from each pencil mark a line 4 cm long at an angle of 900 to the folded edge. We cut and cut the rectangle between the slots forward.
  2. Gently sell the rectangle down and close the hand-made article. When you open the inside you will get a folding box. On a white paper, draw the cosmonaut's figure and paint it with felt-tip pens.
  3. We glue two sheets of blue paper, putting one into the other. To the folding box we will attach the cosmonaut. We decorate the blue background with stars, drawing them with a silver felt-tip pen or cutting them out of foil.
