Take flight and blast off into outer space with an easy art project We had so much fun with M-Woww’s balloon take off that we had to give Lil B a turn too.

White Paint

Old Toothbrush

Colored Construction Paper

Tutorial:

Step 1: Adult help needed for the first step, take a photo of your child laying on the ground, posed as if they were blasting off into space.

Step 2: Print out the photo and cut out child from the picture.

Step 3: Create the space background by using the old toothbrush to splatter white paint on the black paper. Let dry.

Step 4: Design your rocket with the colored paper. Arrange the elements on the page and when you are satisfied with the layout, glue them on your black background paper. Lil B also added red and yellow tissue paper for the rocket flames.
