Space Party!

Here are some pics from our awesome space party!

Our special snack included "alien" cookies and "moon juice" (yellow food died ice cubes in purple kool-aid)
Our craft project included "make your own alien"
 It's all about the process!
 "Pin Moonbear in the Rocketship"
Planetary Spin Art (using tops and dreidels - because I always have some on hand :))
Moonshine water and plastic stars (we tried leaking the fluorescence out of highlighter to turn the water yellow...but five highlighters still wasn't enough for this much water!)
Crazily enough - my boss happened to have bought a new exerciser from Costco! Yippee! It was perfect for our spaceship that we played in all month! We decorated the sides with our own planetary pictures and the inside with glow-in-the-dark stars and planets!
No party is complete without the decorations! This is some black plastic table cloth material covered in glow-in-the-dark stars and planets! The kids never wanted the lights back on!

Moon Art

After learning about the surface of the moon, we devised our own mix to recreate the rocky, crater pocketed moon!

We used white paint splashed into a dash of flour, mixed until lumpy but paintable.
 After getting the surface painted, we used different size circles to create our own craters.
 Viola! Adorable moon art!
