Foam Rockets

We are going to love building basic rocket shapes out of different materials this summer and this one is made out of foam sheets.

Constellations

This one is by far my easiest craft suggestion and requires 2-3 supplies: Sticker Constellations.

Foil Moon

It turns out that using aluminum foil as an alternative to a paint brush offers a wonderful way to create very awesome moon terrain.

Spacey Reads: Teens

Here is a running list of space-themed YA books to get you started this summer. Links will take you straight to Goodreads. These are, horrifyingly, not in alphabetical order so it will be easier to
add them as I go along.


Check back later for more titles.

Movie License

Movie are the ultimate in easy library programs, but you do have to get a Movie License in order to screen most of them. I, professionally, have found it very worth it.

Space Movie List

I will preface this list by saying that it will most likely change as more titles occur to me. I will try my very best to be thorough, but check back if you need more ideas (or goodness please let me know what I miss). These are mix of ratings and studios so be sure to check what is not only appropriate for your audience but also covered under your movie license.
