Paint the Planets.
Cut the Planetary Rings and Asteroid Belt.
Glue the Rings, Sun and Planets.
Cut and Set the Fishing Line.
Put It All Together.
1. Lay the cardboard box on its side so that the opening faces you. Paint the inside black or a very dark blue. Add a few stars and galaxies with white paint, or with glow-in-the-dark paint for more effect.
2. Sort the plastic foam balls into four sizes. The largest ball should be the sun. The next largest should be Jupiter and Saturn, followed by Uranus and Neptune, and then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Pluto.
3. Paint the balls with tempera paints in these colors:
Yellow: Sun
Brown: Mercury
Brownish-yellow: Venus, Jupiter and Saturn
Red: Mars
Blue: Earth, Neptune and Uranus
Black: Pluto
4. Cut four rings out of poster board. They should be large enough to make the planetary rings for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Cut a fifth ring large enough to fit between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; this is the asteroid belt.
5. Glue the Rings, Sun and Planets
6. Cut and Set the Fishing Line
7. Put It All Together
