Activity Set: Space and Aliens
I feel like this activity set would be great for using with junior classes. There would be plenty of opportunities for creative thinking and imaginative play.
I like to start new topics with a book and feel like ‘Aliens Love Underpants’ would be a great way to start it. It has plenty of different images of aliens in the book that would give the children some inspiration for creating their own alien.
I would have the children draw an alien mask on A3 card and then cut little slits and fold the, over and staple it so that it creates a 3D mask that the children can then use while discussing their alien. I would have them use the mask and talk about their habitat.
I would also have children make their own 3d alien using either clay or play dough. They could then work in groups to make the habitat for their martians
