Last weekend we did a simple Solar System activity, with what we had already. I thought its right time to introduce Space concepts to LO. We got these planet stickers as a return gift from our friend's Space themed party. I had these stickers preserved for almost a year now, to give LO at the right time!! So it means I had been planning for this activity for ages!... 😀
And about this activity, LO already has little exposure to planets and their names after watching (several times!!) this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbei3VZjZ48
So he was comfortable with the names of the planets, and I was trying to tell him the order of the planets and the orbit concept. It was bit difficult for him to understand the concept, that the planets revolve around the sun and about the galaxy🌌!!! Silly me! 😛I know its too much for his age.. 😆
On a black paper I drew the elliptical orbits and before I completed it, LO lost all patience😏
The strip which we had, had exactly 10 circle shaped stickers. So we decided to have one for the sun🌕 and rest for the planets. I thought to pick the stickers based on the planet's color and size, and somehow we managed to stick to it.🌏
I discussed with LO that Jupiter is the largest, Saturn has rings, Mars - the red planet, and Pluto the Dwarf planet😊
I also browsed about the size of planets and noted on a paper.
And a Space shuttle being launched from Earth.🚀
We named the planets and added stars to the space🌟🌟🌟
LO was enthralled to see his work and we enjoyed by displaying it on the wall. 🎉
Happy Parenting!😊
