Draw a poster on the theme of astronautics. How to draw space: the finalists of the competition and a step-by-step master class
It is very important to cultivate respect and culture in our children. I consider it very right to widely celebrate the All-Russian Day of Cosmonautics, which takes place on April 12. It is inextricably linked with the name of the first earthling who flew beyond the orbit of the Earth, Yuri Gagarin.
And more importantly, this is our compatriot with you. For our children, this is authority, courage and courage. Therefore, in all kindergartens and schools on this day they hold a craft competition on this topic.
The first thing that comes to mind is a rocket and an astronaut. However, I have found for you a lot of original ideas on the theme of Space, let's start implementing them.
You need to start with the simplest options, so consider what you can make with our preschool children. With them, we will use the simplest materials: paper, cardboard and plasticine.
For this rocket, you need to make blanks, because children of four years old are not yet very good at controlling scissors, so they need help cutting out the details.
My daughter just loves gluing rockets. We've already dedicated a whole album to them. For this purpose, specially bought self-adhesive paper. It is very bright and sticks easily.
The idea of a martian from a balloon caught my eye. There is certainly nothing easier!
Also, the alien can be cardboard, and decorate the plate with sequins that stick well to PVA glue.
To help, I suggest taking a ready-made rocket template and stretching plasticine over it with your fingers. To be able to use this picture many times, laminate it or paste it on both sides with wide adhesive tape.
Also use the ready-made forms of the planets for the application, at the same time expand the horizons of the child, explaining to him that there are several planets, and we live on the one that is blue and is called the Earth.
I give two step-by-step master classes on how to evenly cut blanks from colored paper.
And another template for cutting. All figures have a long tongue with a former base. This is the base you need to glue. Then you will get a three-dimensional application with a 3D effect.
Another idea made on a piece of cardboard wrapped in a trash bag. How to make these, I gave a detailed master class.
More cutting patterns.
This flying machine can be assembled from cardboard.
Toilet rolls can be used to make cool simple rockets.
Or use glitter paper to decorate.
Now I will show you how to make such a rocket step by step.
You can combine crafts and postcards. And make the tail of the rocket out of threads of red, orange and yellow colors that resemble a flame.
Look at these templates, it immediately comes to mind that there are also moon rovers, satellites and the planet Moon itself, how many options for creativity at once. Or you can simply cut out these figures and stick them on blue or black cardboard.
Also, just give your child a coloring book on the theme of Space and keep it as a keepsake.
Any of these coloring pages can be used as a template to make crafts from plasticine, stained glass paints or cereals! you just need to fill the space between the lines with the selected material.
For example, my child and I love to stretch plasticine with our fingers. And for this, a coloring with large pictures was specially bought.
By the way, buy soft plasticine for these purposes!
Crafts for April 12 for schoolchildren
For students, the requirements are more complicated. But on the other hand, it is much easier for them than for babies, because the number of materials that they can use increases.
For example, make gingerbread on the theme of the Cosmos in the form of a comet, planets, flying saucer. You can replace the gingerbread with salt dough. And also after baking, paint it with colored glaze. How to cook it is well described by my colleague https://azbyka-vkysa.ru/vozdushnyj-pasxalnyj-kulich.html
Or use cotton pads. They can be colored and passed off as the planets of the solar system.
Also very painstaking work for those who love to embroider with beads. It can be replaced with glass beads, sequins, or even use the cross-stitch technique.
Here is an example of how to replace beads with buttons.
First graders can be offered to make a rocket from a cardboard roll.
Or such an option with a passenger)))
How to make a rocket that has a base is shown in the instructions. Everything is very detailed and the child himself will be able to repeat all the steps.
You can cut the stand according to this pattern.
How do you like the idea of volumetric crafts? When the whole Cosmodrome is looking at you, maybe Baikonur itself?
You can make crafts on a stick. We need barbecue skewers. For the tail, use corrugated paper or napkins.
A cocktail stick is also great.
Use two pieces to hide the tube attachment point.
You can create a whole composition of crafts using this technique. By the way, you can put them in a glass with semolina, sugar or salt. The grains and spices will keep the chopsticks from moving and tilting.
Glue the planet out of papier-mâché.
Older children also work with plasticine. But they already use complex techniques for working with flagella and forms.
Another great piece of plasticine. Look, the whole sky is made of these same flagella.
And here is our daughter and my favorite plasticine stretching technique. It is suitable for children of all ages.
Teachers will also like cardboard hangers with passengers inside and thread tails.
If you like to use unusual materials, then I advise you to take pasta. What do they do with them! Even the balls are pasted over, as we did with threads and PVA glue. Or they create a beautiful design for work.
Felt is also suitable for creativity. It is easily glued with transparent super glue. Products are made from it according to the same patterns as paper applications, so this fabric keeps its shape perfectly and has a thickness that is convenient for work.
In fabric stores, you will be offered many shades and different thicknesses of sheets of this material. There is plenty to choose from.
But according to these patterns, you can assemble an astronaut, a saucer and a rocket.
They need to be transferred to paper, and then to felt.
Make a fabric applique out of it.
This template will do.
Or this is not at all simple, but a super-duper photo frame with the image of children.
By the way, about the photo! They also have some very original ideas. For example, to portray a child as an astronaut.
Or use this angle. You can also stick photos of friends or classmates on each planet.
A paper helmet will help you feel like an astronaut.
It can be made thicker and more realistic using the papier-mâché technique.
To do this, inflate the ball, a newspaper is applied to it, abundantly moistened with a paste. This is how many layers are made. Then, after drying, the ball bursts and gently peels off from the structure. The final layer is always made of white paper so that you can beautifully decorate the craft.
From sponges and polyurethane foam, you can cut out such balls and assemble them into a small copy of the solar system.
I consider this wreath with stars, planets and an astronaut to be an original idea. The figures can be cut out from the colorings presented above.
For home use, make a jet engine out of plastic crafts with your son.
An even more serious version of the space composition, which can be made from salt dough, plasticine and even clay.
Saturn from a plastic ball and disk will conquer any teacher!
Such balls are sold in floristry stores. We made a similar one from polyurethane foam. We poured it into the layout, dried it and cut out the shape we needed with a clerical knife.
The junction will be fixed with a toothpick.
Volumetric application will also appeal to everyone.
All its zest is in the paper spiral that holds the plane or rocket.
Quite a complicated idea from paper pieces. Here it is important to observe the color scheme and the shape of all objects. It can take quite a lot of time, but it looks very grown-up.
More options for simple rockets in different colors.
And now I'll show you how to conquer all classmates and teachers! We need to make something big, like a growth rocket!
In the assembly hall, it can be used as decoration and decoration, as well as as a photo zone.
Or you can leave it at home, let your son be happy.
Here is a variant of the exhibition samples.
It’s not a shame to put forward such a rocket for the competition, but we’ll talk about this later.
Step-by-step origami rocket master class?
Origami allows you to create independent paper objects without the use of scissors and glue. Often one A4 sheet is enough for them. And there are a lot of rocket options, there are those that stand on their tails, and there are those that are used for voluminous applications.
The simplest version of the rocket is made in three minutes.
After you find the middle of the sheet along the length, you need to roll both upper corners towards it.
Then we form the body.
And side pieces. Turning the edge out.
We repeat the same for the second side.
I will also give a step-by-step diagram, which is supported by the upper master class.
The origami base can be supplemented with paper tubes.
There is a modular origami technique, when a picture or a figure is assembled from many small parts of the same size. Here is an example of this technique.
Of course, it will not work out quickly, but the skill of the hands will develop.
And, of course, you need to see how a complex craft is made.
Be patient and repeat all the steps shown with the child. Perhaps he is your future engineer, or designer!
We make a rocket from plastic bottles and junk material
Increasingly gaining popularity. They are used by summer residents to decorate their site and from them they make homework for school.
For example, using different volumes, you can make such an instance.
Or you have disposable tableware left at home, then you can use it almost for its intended purpose. Replace the plastic plate with a flying one for the alien.
Or transform a bottle of rinse aid into a flying machine, and even with a photograph of an astronaut.
You can also make a cool plate out of ice cream sticks, a plastic container and a box of processed cheese.
And make radar out of wire.
Another idea from disposable tableware.
And when there is a whole bottle of Fanta and some cardboard, assemble a very realistic model.
Aliens can be made from wire and eggs from Kinder.
Old discs will also come in handy.
This option generally deserves all praise. That's really people tried and captured the name of the missile "Mir" and raised our country.
I think you were inspired by these simple crafts, so let's look at how to make them step by step.
You need to cut off the bottom of the bottle, and cut out the porthole.
A cone can be made using this technique, when a circle is made with one cut to the middle and the edge is superimposed on the adjacent side.
We paint all the cardboard parts and the bottle body itself.
For gluing, it is better to use hot glue, so all parts will be better fixed.
Ideas for the competition by April 12
Of course, in every educational institution all kinds of competitions are organized and children are obliged to participate in them. But not all works are then taken to the exhibition. Let's look at options that deserve close attention to ourselves.
For elementary grades, choose a cardboard rocket.
For adults, offer to make a whole composition with elements of the Cosmos.
It is made on the basis of a cardboard box, which is painted blue or black from the inside. And all the prepared elements are attracted to its top on the fishing line.
I specially picked up a lot of photos, made in one idea, so that you can see it better.
You can hang any content in the style of the Cosmos: planets, stars, comets, rockets, astronauts, etc.
I also really liked the voluminous idea of the parade of planets.
It is glued together in layers, in which a smaller circle is cut out.
This is what the workpiece looks like.
A sheet with a cut circle of the largest diameter is placed first, the rest go in order of decreasing diameter.
I would also take a plasticine idea to the exhibition, which is very carefully executed and quite laborious.
An option on how to make craters on the surface of the moon.
Well, remember about the growth rocket, which can also be submitted to the competition. after all, at such events they love big crafts.
I am finishing for today. If you have any other ideas, please describe them in the comments below the article.
Dear friends! The children and I already Today we will draw space with paints with an ordinary brush. And geometric shapes will be our assistants.
At the beginning, invite the children to recall the geometric shapes they know (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval). And make blanks of these figures of different sizes.
Drawing on the theme of Space: you will need
- watercolor paper
- simple pencil
- gouache paints,
- brushes of different numbers,
- patterns of geometric shapes,
- special line
Draw space: a step-by-step master class
Step 1
- Make template blanks: circles of different sizes, a rectangle, a triangle, half a circle.
- Try to compose a composition on the theme "Space" from the given figures.
Hint: one of the possible options is to depict a rocket.
- Lay out the rectangle, triangle and semicircle templates so that you get a rocket.
- Circle the details according to the templates with a simple pencil.
With the help of a special ruler, circle small circles on the rocket - these are the windows.
Step 2
- Draw the planets - circle the patterns of circles.
- Add a few more small planets along the ruler.
- Pick a suitable figure on the ruler, circle it several times below the rocket, so you can get a fiery tail of the rocket.
Step 3
- Dip the brush in blue gouache and put blue spots on the sheet around the picture.
- Then dip the brush in yellow paint and put yellow spots in the same way.
- Pick up white paint with a wet brush, paint the background of the sky, constantly dipping the brush in water and with the tip of the brush in white paint. At the same time, we draw the brush with a wavy line from top to bottom.
- Then we gradually paint over the fragments remaining in the drawing.
- Thus, gradually fill the entire drawing with paints. It is better to start painting with light colors. This process is creative.
- To draw planets, it is better to mix paints of 2-3 colors.
- When the drawing dries, paint the stars with the tip of the brush using yellow and paint.
These are such wonderful drawings by children.
Creative task:
- Prepare your own geometric shape templates.
- Create your own composition on the theme of "Space" using your own templates.
- Paint a picture.

Cosmonautics Day - pictures for children drawn with a pencil and paints
Children love to draw space, because you can draw whatever you want, without limiting your imagination. As a rule, children's drawings for Cosmonautics Day turn out to be unusually beautiful and bright, real pictures from space. The most popular plot is multi-colored planet balls on a dark background surrounded by twinkling stars. Many children like to fantasize about the inhabitants of other planets, come up with absolutely fantastic images surrounded by the same incredible vegetation. Other common subjects for Cosmonautics Day are a launching rocket, alien ships, astronauts going into open space, or astronauts on the moon. We suggest you look at children's drawings for Cosmonautics Day on our website. We hope that on Cosmonautics Day, pictures for children will come in handy and serve as an impetus for creating their own original drawing.
Let's make crafts for Cosmonautics Day to the delight of family and friends, and also learn a little more about what space looks like. To begin with, we will look with our young artist at images of space in photographs. Milky way, galaxies, constellations, planets, Sun, Earth.
Their size is amazing, and their properties are mysterious and amazing.
Drawing for Cosmonautics Day - planets and stars
What does a person who went into space see? Darkness, bright stars, planets and celestial bodies amazing in shape and shade. Let's try to draw this miracle?
We will need:
- Tassels
- Paints
- Glue with glitter
- Black thick paper
Now let's start creating a children's drawing for Cosmonautics Day.
We take a white sheet of paper and create on it with the help of bright colors everything that we saw in the photo or even everything that we came up with ourselves. The main thing is that it should be bright and just as delightful.
While the images of planets, stars and other cosmic bodies are still wet, we drop water on these images so that they are a little blurry.
We let our painting dry, then we cut out our cosmic bodies.
We take a black sheet of paper and glue our cut out bodies on it. You will get an interesting contrast between the black background and light, slightly blurry images.
Now you can use glitter glue. On a black background, glitter will look very beautiful. Our drawing for Cosmonautics Day is ready!
Drawing for Cosmonautics Day with crayons and paints
To begin with, with colored crayons, we draw the main elements of our drawing. When the drawing is ready, we paint the background with gray watercolor.
The paint will not cover the crayons, but will give them a special expressiveness. Patterns look magical with white crayons, which are not visible on a white sheet, but begin to appear when coloring. With white crayons, we can draw stars or sunbeams. Magic drawing "space" - ready!
Magic drawing "space" Drawings for Cosmonautics Day "Man on the Moon"
