Since the first time people flew into space, many years have passed. Starships no longer cause such a stir, and their pilots do not appear to be fairy-tale heroes. Modern realities are such that children more often dream of being oligarchs than astronauts.
However, this does not mean at all that among the guys the interest in space has run out. Stars, aliens and intergalactic flights are still attractive in their distant mystery. And therefore, among children, as before, space crafts are very popular. With their own hands, with the help of parents and teachers, kids make rockets and flying saucers, space explorers and aliens. Particularly often, distant stars are remembered on the eve of Cosmonautics Day.
What are space crafts made of?
With their own hands, people turn everything into amazing things. Plastic bottles and paper, plasticine and salt dough, fabric and foil - any material obeys the imagination of craftsmen. Dads create starships from the details of a metal constructor, wood and cardboard, and mothers sew and knit. Children are equally happy with any such gift. And, of course, simple crafts created with the help of adults with their own hands cause special delight.
Most often, the first independent crafts on the topic of space are applications from fabric and paper. Modern techniques of volume application and quilling allow you to do a variety of things.
In addition, modeling among plasticine, mastic, and salt dough is popular among kids. These are materials that are always available and easily give in to children's hands. Nowadays, the hobby for crafts from plastic bottles and in the theme of space has found application. Dreamers create from this improvised material not only the most diverse models of starships, but also elements of the cosmonaut's costume.
Creating space crafts with your own hands is very useful for both children and adults. The maximum benefit is achieved in joint creativity. The theme of the cosmos, like no other, contributes to the development of the imagination. Indeed, creating, for example, an alien, a child relies only on his imagination, not limited by any framework. And, of course, these and any other crafts for children are useful for the development of fine motor skills.
In addition, if parents find time to create such crafts with their children, trusting relationships are established and strengthened between them. While working on a craft, adults can not only answer the child's questions or listen to his stories, but also tell him a lot. For example, about the structure of the solar system, vacuum and “black holes”, constellations and their role in human life. Astronomy, astrology, physics, history - space represents unlimited space for communication and broadening one's horizons.
Do not expect any dates and special events dedicated to the "star" topics. Your children will be glad at any time to be able to create space crafts with their own hands together with you. Give them this happiness!
