11 Alien Craft For Kids

11 Alien Craft For Kids Let’s make aliens! You know what’s fun Making aliens. 

I like making aliens because they are so fun and you can use your imagination to make them look however you want. They come in all shapes and sizes, 

have different numbers of arms and legs, and have weird bumps on their heads, or no bumps at all.

Alien Christmas Ornament

And the best part is, you can make these ornaments in just a few minutes! Here’s what you’ll need

A piece of foam board (a.k.a. poster board)

Glue stick or hot glue gun and sticks/staples (you could also use tacky craft glue or goopy craft glue)

Scissors

You can purchase the foam board at any art supply store and it’s usually around $2-$3 per sheet. The scissors are probably in your house already since they’re so common! If not, you can get them for about 99 cents at your local dollar store.

Scissors or a craft knife to cut out shapes and glue them onto the plate. If you choose to cut out shapes, be sure your child knows how to safely use scissors by himself/herself.

Plus it’s just plain fun making crafts with coffee filters because they bend and twist easily! If you don’t have any coffee filters lying around at home then check out your local dollar store as these stores usually carry large packs of them for only $1 each or less depending on where it’s located (which will save money if buying a lot).

DIY Alien SpaceShip

Use the hole punch to make holes in the top of your box.

Use a ruler to measure and draw lines on the side of the box where you want to place lights and windows.

Use a craft knife to cut out these sections with your designs. You can do this by tracing around templates if you are more comfortable with them, or just freehand it! It’s not rocket science here—just have fun!

Glue down some cardboard windows, using a glue gun if that’s what you have handy!

Paint over everything in black paint (or whatever color you like), including all sides of your ship so that nothing will be visible when it’s turned into an alien spaceship toy for kids! If you want smooth edges when painting, use an old piece of paper towel dipped in water beforehand.

it will help make sure those lines are nice and crisp without needing any sanding later on down the road after drying up some areas too much from excess paint being used during painting sessions like this one.”

Alien Slime

To make the slime, you will need.

• Borax
• Glue (the kind that does not dry out)
• Food coloring (optional)
• A plastic bowl or cup to mix in

The first step is to fill your plastic bowl halfway with water. Then add 2 tablespoons of borax powder and stir until dissolved. You should have an orange-ish solution now! Next, add 1 tablespoon of glue and mix it until all the borax is gone from your liquid. If you want colored slime, take out some food coloring and add as much as you like! 

Finally, add about 5 squirts of Elmer’s glue into the mixture and watch it turn into a wonderful gelatinous goo!
