Rocket Name Building

Solar System In Motion

Let your kiddo work on learning how to put their name in order. Precut a triangle, squares, and fire pieces from construction paper. Then help prompt your kiddo to glue the letters in the right order onto a black piece of construction paper. Afterwards add star stickers to make the project pop.

(sung to “The Farmer in the Dell”)

The Earth turns around, The Earth turns around, Once a day, every day, The Earth turns around.

The moon goes round the Earth, The moon goes round the Earth,

Once a month, every month, The moon goes round the Earth.

The Earth goes round the sun, The Earth goes round the sun,

Once a year, every year, The Earth goes round the sun.
