Planet Memorization Craft

This week we are memorizing the planets, so I came up with this craft to make things more interesting :-)

First, I found this great printable for free from sprouts:

I had the children color the planets and cut them out. Then I decided we were going to glue them on a dark background.  So I found some paper bags and cut off the sides.  I left the handle for a hanger ;-)...

Then we glued the planets and their names in order from the Sun.

My kids wanted to include Pluto, so we put a little Pom Pom thingy in its place. Then used glue to write:

Then we sprinkled fine glitter over the glue...

After we shook the glitter off, we were finished!!
