Astronauts on the Moon

Second grade made space people on the moon collages. (I got the idea from the Painted Paper blog.) First we sponge painted the moon with different shades of gray and sprayed on the stars with watered down white tempera. Then we made the space suits by rounding off squares and rectangles. After pasting those on we embellished the suits with sequins and metallic paper. On the third day, we made the flags and the rockets. Zoom! We read about the phases of the moon, and learned the order of the planets and read about space suits before making this project.
