Viewer Suggestion: instead of a paper plate, trace a
plate onto a piece of cardboard or poster board and use that as the
center of the project.
|
Instructions:
 | Paint the "bottom" of your paper plate: your paper plate
has the side you'd eat from and the side you'd place on the table -- the
bottom is the side you'd place on the table
 | use colors to represent the celestial body you're making:
 | blue and green for earth |
| greys and yellows for the moon |
| funky colors for an alien planet |
| yellows and oranges for the sun |
|
| use sponges to dab on complimentary colors and give texture to
your planet, sun or moon
|
|
| let dry
|
| poke a hole in the center of the plate with a nail or sharp pencil (adult
assistance)
|
| print out the template(s) of choice. There are a wide variety to
choose from!
|
| Optional: glue the template page onto thin cardboard (old cereal
boxes or poster board, for example) to make your creation sturdier
|
| use the hole punch to punch a hole in the bottom of the template rectangle
|
| Color (B&W version) and cut out the templates
|
| push the brass brad through the paper plate and the templates you've
chosen.
|
| orbit your characters around your planet! |
Printing the Template:
| Close the template window after printing to return to this
screen.
|
| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the
template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
