They’ll repeat this until the plate is full of grey and resembles the moon’s surface. Then your kids will dip the pom poms into the paint and dab it against the paper plate (the bottom should be facing upward).

You can have your kids color in my astronaut pictures using nice colored pencils or markers and then simply frame them and hang them, gallery wall-style, in their rooms. Have them glue one side to the back of the astronaut, where the arms and legs go, and then glue the gloves and boots to the other, dangling ends. They’ll take computer paper and fold it up like an accordion, starting with four five-to-six-inch strips. You’ll have the kids color in the astronaut and cut it out, then carefully cut off the legs and arms, saving the gloves and boots. Use an astronaut picture with the body facing forward as much as possible. They can draw a moon or use glitter pens to make stars. Next, they’ll glue the astronaut to dark blue construction paper. They’ll glue their faces, face-up, to the back of the astronaut’s helmet so that it looks like they are peeking out. You’ll need a clear picture of their face, cut to fit the lookout (roughly).
