Make a paper mache planet by Aunty Catherine
Make a planet and hang it in your bedroom. We made the Earth but you can make any from the solar system or one of your own design.
You will need :
A balloon
Newspaper
PVA glue
Paint to match the choice of your planet
Blow up the balloon to a size that you want your planet to be.
Tear the newspaper into strips.
Glue the strips onto the balloon. It will take a long time as you need to have lots of layers to make it really strong. You can do it over a few days.
When its completely covered in newspaper and has enough layers so that its strong, leave it to dry. This might take a few days to fully dry out.
When its dried out fully you can paint it. We painted it blue and green like the earth but you can paint it any colour of the planets or make your own uniquely coloured planet. Have Fun
