Burning Asteroid craft for kids

Burning Asteroid craft for kids

My husband has been spending a lot of time watching the recent launch of Falcon 9 which transports satellites by SpaceX. We all love watching the rockets launch and that inspired our latest craft activity – a burning asteroid craft!

Our latest box of Bostik craft supplies recently arrived and this months’ theme was Space. We haven’t done many space crafts but our craft box contained a selection of products including Bostik White Glu and a polystyrene ball. It was quite simple to turn it into a flaming asteroid burning through space.

First we cut the polystyrene ball into two halves.

The flat side was covered in Bostik White Glu and stuck on a sheet of black card.

We found some Blu Tack glitter pens from a previous box and used them to create a sparkling trail of fire coming from the asteroid.

Then my daughter applied some of the space themed stickers from our craft box around her asteroid.

My 5 year old enjoyed making this so much that she decided to give it to her Dad for Father’s Day!
