Solar System Paper Plate Craft

Explore the planets! Kids swirl black and dark blue paint inside a large paper plate to look like space, then color and cut out the Sun and planets. They draw eight orbit circles with a white paint pen, attach everything in order with foam tape, and finish with white dots and punched paper stars. This solar system paper plate craft is a hands-on space science craft.
