A TOY DAY

Enjoy this simple MATCH GAME for kids to learn 8 planets of our solar system with Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.The perfect handmade Learning and Matching Game for preschool, kindergarten or elementary school. If you cannot recognize the planet - this game will definitely help you to remember all the planets in just 5 minutes.
Don't forget to ask for parent's assistance when you use sharp sticks and scissors.

How to learn the order of the planets?
Just remember:
My Mercury
Very Venus
Educated Earth
Mom Mars
Just Jupiter
Served Saturn
Us Uranus
Nachos Neptune

But where is Pluto? Pluto is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond Neptune. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 and was originally considered to be the ninth planet from the Sun. Pluto is very small, only about half the width of the United States, that's the main reason why Pluto was relegated to "dwarf-planet" status by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.

How to make 8 Planets using Balloons and Rice? Let’s build a Solar System Model at home or school to learn the planets order.
Great project for preschool, kindergarten and school science lesson or home craft with kids. Children will love to hold the planets in their hands and play-out their various orbits. Helps to remember main description and order of each planet.

We used 9” and 12” balloons for each planet, and two large balloons for the Sun.
Mercury – rice: 1/8 cup, balloons: two silver, one dark grey
Venus – rice: 1/3 cup, balloons: two yellow, one orange
Earth - rice: 1/3 cup, balloons: two green, one light blue
Mars - rice: 1/4 cup, balloons: two brown, one red
Jupiter - rice: 1 2/3 cup, balloons: two golden, one red, one white, one light sky blue
Saturn - rice: 1 cup, balloons: one brown, one white, one golden
Uranus - rice: 2/3 cup, balloons: two light sky blue
Neptune - rice: 2/3 cup, balloons: two dark blue, one light blue
The Sun – rice: 3 cups, balloons: one red, one yellow
You can be creative and fill the planets with sand, beans, etc.

Let’s compare planets of the Solar System using Sport Balls. It is one of the easiest ways to compare for example the smallest Mercury with the largest Jupiter.

Just imagine the planets as sport balls. It helps small kids to understand the difference in sizes and “touch” the planet at home.

You can use ping pong ball for Mercury, baseball for Venus, tennis ball for Earth, golf ball for Mars, basketball for Jupiter, football (American, not soccer) for Saturn, Volleyball for Uranus, and soccer for Neptune.

Excellent for the preschool, kindergarten or elementary school lessons.

Let's learn Planets Order of our Solar System using "magic" trick with Paper Towels. You can create surprise pictures using just markers, paper towels and water. This magic paper towel art will excite your kids. Is it magic or science?
Use two pieces of a paper towel and draw the planet at the bottom part using a permanent marker and colored markers. Then fold two pieces together and drop it in the water. Paper towel will quickly absorb the water and reveal the whole picture. Use your creativity and make your own pictures of the planets, animals, or plants.
Enjoy this simple craft!

Part 2 of Solar System craft helps to learn the order of the 8 planets quickly and easy:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Make your own 3D Solar System to learn and teach the order of the planets.
