Happy Earth Day Earthlings!
Earth
Day is one of my favorite holidays! There are a lot of holidays out there and
Earth Day is not one that gets too much attention. Unlike other holidays, this
one celebrates something tangible. We live each day of our lives on this planet
and should recognize it from time to time.
On
a planet that is covered by 71% water, we tend to forget to look up. We have
these beautiful and rather strange formations constantly above us…
Today
I decided to honor the Earth by doing a super cute raincloud craft!
Materials:
*Recycled
Cereal Box
*Tacky
Glue or Hot Glue (for the speedy crafter)
*Cotton
Balls or Recycled white tee-shirt
*Fishing
Line
*Hole
Puncher
*Blue
Paint
Instructions:
1. Draw a cute cloud design on your
cereal box; make sure it is an appropriate size that will get three cloud
shapes out of the box
2. Use scissors or an x acto knife to
cut out your clouds
3. Fold two of your clouds in half
4. Glue the two folded clouds onto
your one unfolded cloud
5. Use your hole puncher to punch
three holes at the bottom of your now 3-demensional cloud shape
6. Cut 12 small circles out of your
left over cereal box for your raindrops
7. Fold all 12 of your circles into
halves
8. Glue your circles together in
groups of four to make your raindrops
9. Thread your fishing line through
the raindrops and attach them to your cloud
10.
Glue
cotton balls or crumbled up recycled tee shirt to your cloud to get a fun
fluffy look!!!
Hang
up your cloud somewhere interesting and take a picture! Use #cloudsforearthday
Another
way to celebrate Earth Day…
NASA
is doing something very cool. They are asking all the people residing on planet
Earth to take an Earth Day selfie using the hashtag #GlobalSelfie.
NASA will be using your global selfies to create a mosaic of the Earth!
The
nice people at NASA premade a sign for everyone to use in their Global Selfies.
