DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Space Capsule Craft

You will need a picture of your child's face. If you do not have this, you can substitute a face cut out of a magazine or newspaper and use this as your astronaut.
a paper or styrofoam cup,
a plastic bag (like a bread bag or grocery bag),
some string or wool (3 or 4 pieces),
aluminum foil
Optional: stickers to decorate with
scissors and
Glue.

Cut out the face so it fits on the paper cup. (The paper cup will be standing upside down).
Wrap the cup in Aluminum foil. An adult may need to help attach it with tape or glue.
Decorate the cup with stickers as desired.
Glue the face onto the side of the upside down cup. You can draw a little window around the face if desired.
Poke a hole in the top of the cup and thread 4 pieces of string through. Tie a knot inside the cup so the string will not fall out.
Cut a "parachute" out of the plastic bag (a square piece of plastic) and attach one of your strings to each corner of the bag.
Let your child play with it or hang it from the ceiling.
