One of the best parts of having a party is planning the activities that go along with it! For our recent Out of This World Space Partywe wanted to create a fun craft that the kids would enjoy making and playing with once it was complete! This simple UFO Space Craft is the perfect blend of crafting and playing and we love that you can use every day simple items to make it! With our step by step tutorial you'll be soaring through space in no time!
Gather 2 Purple Bowls and cover each one in a thin covering of aluminum foil. Tuck any excess foil inside of each bowl.
Use a low temperature hot glue gun (these are safer for kids!) to glue the rims of each bowl to one another. If you do not have a low temperature glue gun make sure the kids have adult assistance for this portion of crafting.
Once the hot glue is fully dry, it's time to create the cockpit of the UFO! Start by removing an astronaut Outer Space Character Lollipops from its stick. Then, using a knife, cut the lollipop in half horizontally. Place the lollipop inside a Mini Plastic Glass and hot glue around the perimeter of the glass. We don't suggest eating this lollipop once it's been used in the craft.
Start adding some "glowing light" details by sticking Self-Adhesive Geometric Jewels to the perimeter of the ship. Let each crafter get creative with pattern and colors!
Add any additional details, markings and colors with Sharpie Markers.
Get busy playing with your new space craft at your Out of This World Space Party!
