Paint Stick Solar System for Kids

5.05.2016

We love learning about the Solar System in our homeschool.  

We have made an edible version, have a few books on our shelves, watched various videos about space, and have done a couple hands-on activities learning about constellations with a geoboard and paper tube constellation viewer

Another clever way to help your child learn about the solar system is with a paint stick!  

This out-of-this world science and art activity that will aid in learning the names and order of the planets.  

This Paint Stick Solar System is a perfect hands-on learning activity for your kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade student.

outer space craft for kids

Recently my 8 year old read about Neil Armstrong, so I had outer space on my mind and decided to work on the names of the planets and their order in our solar system.  

To do so, we made the solar system on a paint stick!
