This uppercase A astronaut was too much fun to make! We did it this week along with our Astronaut Preschool Pack.

What You’ll Need:

  • white, pink {or skin toned} and black foam sheet
  • tinfoil
  • scissors
  • glue/tape {I love glue dots!}
  • black marker

How to Make the ‘A’ for Astronaut:

  1. Cut an uppercase A from a piece of white foam sheet. We used a piece that was 4” x 5”.
  2. Using the excess white foam, I cut out arms/sleeves, a white helmet and a white ‘space pack’ for our astronaut.
  3. Using pink foam, cut out a face for your astronaut, just slightly smaller than your helmet.
  4. Cut space boots and gloves from the black craft foam.
  5. Cover the space pack with tinfoil.
  6. Glue the boots, arms and gloves onto the uppercase A.
  7. Glue the space pack onto the back of the A. We added some straps by rolling pieces of tinfoil and wrapping them around the A like backpack straps.
  8. Draw a face on your astronaut ~ don’t forget to add hair!
  9. Glue/tape your astronaut’s helmet and head onto the top of the letter A.

We started out the week with a sick Kaleb and did manage to squeeze in some school time {and were really getting on a roll}…and are now in the midst of household chaos with lots of painting, scrubbing and house purging going on.

Instead of paper and pencil school, we spent time on field trips so that Daddy could get some things done without interruption ~ the library and the children’s museum being top on the list!

Depending on how next week goes, I’m REALLY hoping that I’ll be able to share another preschool pack with you!! I’m trying to wrap up some behind the scenes stuff before I post all about it too. Right now, focusing on our kids and keeping our sanity intact is top on my ‘to do’ list {grins}…but I do have some fun stuff in store!

We did squeeze in a few days of school time this week before some of the kiddos ended up getting sick…which then resulted in Mom being super tired.

Kaleb is VERY excited that Saturday we’ll be going to see VeggieTales Live this weekend and truthfully, I’m really hoping that we get to hear my favorite song ~ Bellybutton! If your kiddos love VeggieTales, you might want to see if they will be in your area since the shows will be through November 30th. Assuming that the big guys don’t scare him to death, we should have plenty of pictures to share! :)

Before the sickies hit, we spent a lot of time reading about pirates!! Kaleb has been fascinated with them lately, so we read and read and read. We also did a fun letter craft that went along with our pirate unit. Can you guess which of the following letters it was?
