Flying Saucer CD!

I hadn't cut the hole in the top of the container for the alien yet!

Day 3 of the week - The theme this week is Outer Space. The letters of the week are 0, P, p the number of the week is 13.

Project - Flying Saucer CD- This is the last formal day of our Space theme. Connor loved all of the Space stuff - especially the idea of Aliens, so I thought we would end our theme with a Flying Saucer. I've seen the idea for making a flying saucer out of CD's on numerous sites, but I "created" our own flying saucer with our left over and random materials and got to work. Directions: Glue 2 CD's together (shiny side facing out), glue milk cap onto bottom center, and applesauce container on the top center. Add foam shapes all over the flying saucer. Cut a hole in the top of the applesauce container for the alien! (You can use any materials you have lying around the house for this project!) Materials Needed - 2 CD's, 1 milk cap, 1 applesauce container, foam shapes, craft glue, scissors, Alien - optional!

Ice Cream Pail Alien!

Project - Ice Cream Pail Alien - Instead of throwing away our empty ice cream pail I decided to put it to good use. Connor chose to make an Alien "helmet" out of it. Directions: I cut slanted eyes out of the pail. Then we covered the entire pail with green felt. Connor added tri-beads and two green antenna's (chenille stems) for finishing touches.

Materials Needed - Ice cream pail, green felt, craft glue, scissors, green chenille stems, tri-beads
