Children enjoy listening to stories about events that happened on this day many years ago, and easily get involved in the process of preparing for the holiday. Considering that it is not recognized as a day off, most often children become acquainted with this holiday within the walls of kindergarten.

In kindergarten they can be of a very different nature, depicting both real attributes of space and fantastic images. When thinking about space, children often give freedom to their imagination, as in any case when it comes to objects that go beyond the reality around them.

DIY postcard for Cosmonautics Day

The postcard is a universal gift for any holiday, including Cosmonautics Day. Volumetric postcards with steps on the fold look very impressive. This effect is achieved very simply - two cuts are made at a short distance on the fold of the card.

Bend the card so that where the cut is made, the protrusion bends in the other direction.

Glue a rocket out of paper.

Decorate the bottom and back surface of the card with the sun, moon and stars. Postcard for Cosmonautics Day - ready!

There is no need to prevent this, because by fantasizing, the child tries to create his own idea of ​​the distant and unknown. However, it is still necessary to strive to expand the boundaries of his knowledge.

First of all, we need to tell you why Cosmonautics Day is so important: man has long tried to find out what is beyond the clouds. He saw the light of the stars and the moon, but could not rise high enough. Until the rocket was invented.

Craft a rocket made from salt dough for Cosmonautics Day

Can be created in a variety of ways. A charming rocket with stars for Cosmonautics Day can be made from salt dough. Dry the craft in the oven or on a radiator (at least 12 hours).

We paint the dried craft with bright colors.

Take a sheet of paper or cardboard and paint it deep purple. When the paint dries, make white splashes on a sheet of paper. We will get a beautiful starry sky.

We paint the rocket and glue it to a thick base.

To make Cosmonautics Day in kindergarten memorable for all children, it is necessary to create the appropriate atmosphere. And crafts made by children’s hands will cope with this task in the best possible way.

Volumetric model from a plastic bottle. We paint the inside of the bottle by pouring a little white paint into it and shaking it well until the paint covers all the walls. In the lower part we make two vertical slits into which we insert wings painted white or metallic from thick cardboard. We decorate the body and wings with ready-made stickers in the form of stars or circles.

The original “Rocket in Space” applique is made from a cardboard toilet paper roll. To create a starry sky, apply transparent glue to the background and sprinkle it with semolina.

Application “rocket in space” for kindergarten

Craft for Cosmonautics Day using quilling technique on a disk

A very impressive craft for Cosmonautics Day can be made using the quilling (paper rolling) technique.

Crafts astronaut for kindergarten

Pupils of the junior and middle groups of kindergarten can be invited to make their own astronaut. And not just any cosmonaut, but the first cosmonaut - Yuri Gagarin.

We invite the children to create their own astronauts using the appliqué technique. We are distributing ready-made spacesuit templates, which we suggest gluing onto a sheet of purple or dark blue cardboard. And we cut out the astronaut’s face from a photograph of a child - let the bravest children imagine what they will look like if they decide to conquer outer space after they grow up.

Application “Soviet cosmonaut”

A funny astronaut can be made using the appliqué technique from pieces of painted paper. You can also glue a photo of the child - this will make the craft unique.

Application on the theme “Space”

Planets for Cosmonautics Day

Now we have smoothly moved on to what the astronauts could see when rising beyond the Earth’s orbit. At this moment we direct the conversation in a scientific direction, telling the children about the planets. Along the way, you can make a model of the galaxy in the form of an applique. We prepare several circles of different colors and sizes in advance and distribute them on a sheet of paper in the same way as planets can be distributed in space. The planets look very beautiful on a huge black Whatman paper - we get real outer space.

A very interesting idea for Cosmonautics Day is to make a model of the solar system from ordinary cardboard. We draw planetary motion patterns with glitter glue. The planets themselves can be made from plasticine, papier-mâché, buttons or colored pom-poms.

Volumetric suspension model. To create it, we use ready-made foam balls, which, after painting and drying, we hang on a base - a circle at different lengths and distances from the center.

Look at the video to see what a wonderful craft you can make for Cosmonautics Day:

From each group of crafts we form a thematic exhibition, and on the holiday each child will be able to tell what exactly he remembers about the events that happened many years ago.

Hello dear subscribers and guests of the blog!

Can you imagine that I completely forgot that in April there is another world holiday, which is always celebrated on the same day, April 12 - this is Cosmonautics Day. How can you forget about this?(((.

I decided to improve right now and present to your attention a collection of original and unique crafts that you can do at home with your children and bring to a competition or exhibition. The ideas will range from simple to complex for you to choose from. After all, some have children who are already adults and go to school, while others have very young children in kindergarten.

I think that everything is clear here, the most important symbol of this holiday will be the rocket, because it was on it that the world’s first ejection into space was carried out by Yuri Gagarin, if you have not forgotten.

Yes, by the way, let’s not forget that Easter is ahead, and for it I already gave all kinds of gifts, remember? Well, don’t forget that in May. Wow, cool, there's quite a petition.

I’ll start with perhaps the most common and you guessed it popular option, this is a rocket. You can make it yourself from what you always have on hand.

To do this, you can first take a toilet roll; if you don’t have one, you can twist the cardboard and glue the sleeve together.


The stages of work will be as follows, not at all complicated, but on the contrary, using these pictures you can easily create this unique little thing.


To prevent the rocket from falling, it is necessary to make a support, that is, a stand and secure it to it.



You can create such a huge beauty. The children are about to go on a flight))).


Well, or a lot of them.


This is what came out of ordinary plastic bottles.



What a delight, the child made it himself, covered it with newspapers.


You can also build a flying saucer.



What will you make it from? Choose from what I found on the Internet, or write below the article what else you can create from.

From CD discs, you can also decorate it with beads and rhinestones, chenille wire.


The legs can be made from wooden sticks or skewers, and beads can be glued to the bottom.


Ha, the hands are made from paper clips.


Great models, you can send them straight to the exhibition.



Plastic cups also went here, creating a cabin.


This space base came out of plasticine and matches.


It looks cool, the main thing is that it can be done quickly and easily, without spending a lot of money and investments.


And if you are tired of everything primitive, then do something creative and your own.


But that’s not all, you can make any planet in the solar system, how do you like this idea, watch how they make one from papier-mâché.


Or maybe you can depict all the planets using modeling dough or take regular colored plasticine. Twist it into flagella, and then, like a straw, into a ball.





There aren't enough Martians to join them. Wow, what weirdos the authors came up with, take a look. And the material is an ordinary Kinder Surprise egg, or rather its box.

What a bug eye, and the legs are made of wire and bottle caps.

Space craft ideas for kindergarten

The result will be like this, you will definitely like it, and the children will definitely like it.


After all, everyone likes origami. What could be easier? So, fold the square sheet in half lengthwise.



Towards this fold line, again start making folds on both sides.



Now bend it like this, as shown here.




The next step is to cut off all the excess.



Start folding it like an envelope.



Then later two triangular parts will be visible. Follow further instructions.







Also, do not forget that you can use plasticine here, roll small balls from it and mold it.


Draw or print an astronaut and a rocket, for example.


And start painting a picture. This develops not only perseverance, but also attentiveness.


You can roll it out larger. Or you can also color pumpkin seeds and stick them here, but this is already under the control of adults and at home with their parents.

Or very large lumps in the shape of the planets of the entire solar system. Foam rubber was used here.


Here is a simple model and diagram of a flying object. You can use it further for its intended purpose, for example for applications, etc.

See how cool this can look on a regular piece of paper.


These are other types of transport with stars.


You can also make an unusual craft for a skyscraper from colored paper.


You can also add people, residents, to this option.


Or make your child a pilot, he will definitely be delighted. Here again, with you, children's palms have adapted.


Or joint work of a group or class with children's photos of children.


You can also take a ready-made template and cut it out, and the preschoolers will draw up these details on A4 sheet.


It all depends on you and your imagination.


Why not, make this handout for everyone.

And nearby are aliens, oh aliens. Paper plates are also used, but you can also use plastic ones.


These are the people. It looks like some kind of alien station, here, as you can see, there are disks and even pasta instead of hands, and the hair is made of straw.


Here are more ideas from bottles and even a bow.


Uh, from an eggshell.


The foil work Belka and Strelka also looks original, ha))).

Children's cards on the theme of Space

First of all, I would like to immediately suggest that you make a postcard, not a simple one, but a voluminous one. You need to choose a plot, if you liked this one, like in this sample, then write and I will send it to you. So, you print it out and then color it with pencils or markers.



But to make it look civilized, you need to make a cover, fold it in half, and then glue the drawing to it.


You might like this one.


Or use the trimming method, it is also ideal for this purpose.
