Description

Combine science with art and feed both sides of your brain! You have a large cardstock background to color (19 x11") of a whimsical outer space scene. You have a set of 10 crayons in the set, but your own markers would work too. Using plaster of Paris and the plastic molds provided, you make a mold of the space shuttle and rocket (really a half-slice of the model). Instructions are easy to follow. You mix the plaster right in the bag and squeeze it from there too. When it dries, use the paint pots and brush in the kit to jazz up your shuttle as you wish. When it's ready, glue the shuttle to the background and voila! How fun to read about space exploration (see the website for all sorts of options) and then do a project like this! ~Sara
