Tips For Making The Solar System


  • You can make different types of solar system with nothing more than imagination and having the materials near and within reach.
  • Anime spheres can be used for planets , which can be cut in half and do something small and not so exaggerated . It must be remembered that they have to be of different sizes.
  • Among the different sizes of anime spheres we can use them as follows: the sun the largest, the second largest for Jupiter, the third for Saturn and so on until we reach the smallest, which is for Mars and Mercury .
  • You can cut the spheres in half to make the sun.
  • The spheres must be painted according to the color of the planets as stated above and for that, you should look for tutorials on the internet where you can see exactly the color that corresponds to each one and thus make no mistake. 
  • It is something very simple to do, but at the same time very elaborate , since if you want to do something nice, you have to follow the steps to the letter.
  • Among the materials to use for the background, it can be a black cardboard or sheet of anime painted colored black to simulate the sky from outer space.
  • To avoid mistakes, it is best to start from the center , that is, from the sun, while the planets can be placed to the sides , remembering the position of each one within the system so that nothing comes out bad; You can paint some stars that are far away or you can use silver or gold glitter to give more realism to the whole composition.
  • You can also create a solar system in 3D, with different materials such as sticks, sticks and rubber foam spheres painted in different colors.
  • The children are the main players in these crafts, and therefore they have to perform the task, so parents and representatives, should only be around to help, assist and give advice on how to get things not to do things them, since they can be created a bad habit.
  • Each of the distances between the planets and the sun, must be represented, either painted or with posters, to make it look good.
  • Sticks for skewers should be used.
  • Plasticine can also be used to work with this type of project , since it is a highly moldable material or paste that makes all kinds of figures of different colors, so it is an ideal material when making the solar system.
  • The kids love working with clay, so it's good that they work with this type of material to make the solar system therefore must divide the dough between the various colors found in order to make balls representing each planet . 1 color = 1 planet It must also be placed on a base that is totally resistant to the weight of the plasticine.
  • Use glue to stick the plasticine balls to the cardboard, although you can use a silicone gun to work with this material, it is more advisable since they are more resistant and we must remember that children should not touch this material.
  • You can also use newspaper and other reusable materials that you have in your home to start the creativity of everyone and help the child to do the project. It's fun to work in
  • It is advisable that all these materials can be obtained before starting work, so that the sense of what is being done is not lost and it is seen as more organized the realization of the task, in addition no trash should be left , after it is finished working, since this can form clean habits and hygiene in children.
  • The child and the adolescent should have the opportunity from home to explore new knowledge that will help him to perform the different tasks that are presented to him, such as the example of making a model of the solar system that represents that acquired knowledge that he must have on that subject in particular and for which the teacher asked for that task.
  • The habit of carrying out their projects, makes that a feeling of responsibility is built, as long as it respects itself and others. In addition, they can also reinforce values ​​such as autonomy and cooperation, by simply making a model of the solar system with some waste materials.

  • The adults should monitor tasks sent to their children, since this can create a sense of camaraderie between parent and children, which makes the tasks that are done together with more reinforcement and dedication and will make be done with more love than others.
  • Give confidence when defending the project in front of the teacher, rehearsing with him, so that he does not memorize it, if not to analyze and say everything in his own words, with this, you will get acceptance, security, confidence, approval among others.
  • The parents must accept that the child contributes his ideas in the realization of the project, so that he can see the infinite world of knowledge through a simple task that was assigned and will be evaluated. Therefore, that sense of responsibility that is instilled in him, becomes a key experience in the activity of sharing a unique experience which will provide an incalculable value to the growing personality of the child, since he is creating habits that help him to invest all their energies in a project that is significant.
  • Finally , the teacher has the responsibility of evaluating the quality of the child's work, adding more note to that work that is noticed was supervised by the parents, but done by the hands of the same child, since this supposes to reward the effort and the the child's work, not the effort and work of the parents who have done the work to their children so that they could leave.
