Finley, Space Shuttles, and his Pinterest Inspired Mom

Since I'm helping Finley's love of space grow and intensify (it seems), I took to Pinterest to get some craft ideas.  First, we dove into our stock pile of paper towel and toilet paper rolls (yes, we save them for just this kind of situation) and got working on little space shuttles.

Step one: paint white

Step 2: I hot glued them

Step 3: paint with q-tips

Finley wanted to paint his just like the pictures from pinterest, but Dagny had her own plans...

 

Awesome!

Now the second project, a soda bottle shuttle was a bit more work on my part but Finley was my eager assistant and together we made something pretty amazing!!

White duct tape, black duct tape, some cardstock printed wings and tail, black rocket boosters and then Finley's magic touch -- red tissue paper flames!!

We plan to hang this one in his newly decorated room once the space posters and photographs arrive in the mail as we overhaul the decor from what we'd picked out for his (sniff, sniff) nursery over five years ago!
