Solar System Board Game

This is a fun and educational project for parents and kids. Not only will you have a blast creating your very own board game, but will learn all about our solar system in the process.

Materials Needed

• Poster board
• Markers
• Piece of card stock
• Scissors
• Glue
• Dice

Instructions

1. Begin by drawing a circular path on the poster board to represent the orbits of the planets.
2. Use markers to draw each planet in its corresponding orbit. Make sure to size the planets appropriately and label them.
3. Along the orbit paths, write various facts about the solar system. Uneven numbers can point the player forward, while even numbers conceptually send the player backwards.
4. Create game pieces by drawing spaceships, asteroids, or other celestial bodies on the card stock. Cut these out and glue them to sturdy bases so they can stand up.
5. Roll the dice to determine who goes first. Each turn, a player will roll the dice and move their piece along the path according to the number rolled.
6. Players must recite the fact written on the space they land on. If they say it correctly, they can stay. If not, they have to go back to the space they were on before their roll.
7. The first person to pass all the planets and reach the 'Finish' space is the winner!

Enjoy your journey through the solar system!

DIY Fairy Garden Craft

Materials Needed:

• Fairy figurines
• Small plant pots
• Potting soil
• Small succulent plants
• Decorative pebbles or gems
• Moss (optional)
• Miniature fairy furniture (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by mixing the potting soil with a small amount of water. The soil should be damp, but not overly wet.
2. Fill your plant pots with the damp soil, leaving about an inch from the top for the succulents.
3. Make a small hole in the soil and place your succulent plant in it. Press the soil down gently around the plant to secure it.
4. Next, arrange your fairy figurines and optional miniature furniture around the succulent plant. The fairy figurines and furniture should be arranged in a way that creates a small 'scene' or living space for the fairies.
5. Fill in the gaps between the figures and the plant with your decorative pebbles or gems. If you have moss, you can also use it to create 'grass' for the fairies.
6. Once you have arranged everything to your liking, ensure that everything is securely pushed into the soil so that it does not topple over or move around. Finally, place your fairy garden in a sunny spot and water the plant as required.
