by

Welcome to our collection of 10 Space Themed Kids Crafts! Teaching kids about outer space is not only educational but also fun and exciting, it can open up their minds to the vastness of the universe and the possibilities it holds.

These crafts provide a hands-on approach to learning about space and its many wonders. From making a galaxy in a jar to creating a solar system mobile, these crafts are perfect for children of all ages and skill levels. Each craft includes detailed instructions and a list of materials, making it easy for parents and educators to get started.

According to cela.org, learning about space promotes creative thinking and helps children develop their imagination and curiosity. At a time when young children may feel that their worlds have become much smaller, it could be helpful to remind them that they’re part of something so much bigger.

We believe that these space-themed crafts are an excellent way to spark children’s interest in science and technology. So, let’s explore the galaxy and make learning about space fun and engaging with these 10 space-themed kids crafts!

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks. 

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game. 

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom. 

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more. 

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet. 

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
