| Discussion |
- Show children images of our solar system.
- Talk about the difference between each of
the planets. (colors, sizes, distances,
rings ect.....) - Teach children how amazing it is that God
put Earth in just the right spot, we're not to
close or to far away from the sun.
| This colorful craft can be out of this world if you use Glow in the Dark paint! Children love how easy it is to make something so spectacular, and it opens up discussions on God's marvelous creation. |
| Step 1 Get a styrofoam ball and choose an old CD that you no longer need. |
| Step 2 Slice your ball in half with a knife....be careful, this is kind of tricky :) |
| Step 3 Use you're Glow in the Dark paint to add colors all around the planet. Remind children why planets are different colors. |
| The Planets in Our Solar System You live on Earth, so you already know a lot about it. But do you know about its place in out solar system? For instance, it's not the largest planet. If Jupiter were a hallow ball, 1,000 Earths would fit inside it. And did you know our planet Earth takes 365 days to go around the sun, while the planet Pluto takes 248 years?
