Sam is very much into the solar system these days. His favorite toys are "Planet Heroes" right now and they are actually very educational. He knows the order of the planets and little facts about each one. He has also made up his very own planets and makes up facts about them as well...I have a hard time keeping up with those!
He asked me the other day if we could make a solar system. Being the crafty mom that I am, I figured that Lakeshore Learning would have some sort of model...and they came through for me! I was having a hard time picturing myself going into Michael's and buying styrofoam balls, paint, a hot glue gun (because I don't own one) and such. I'm so thankful that Lakeshore had this. We had a fun time doing it together and he is so proud!
Looking at all the parts...
Painting done!
Planets put together...
The finished product...

Wow! Way to go Sam and Miss Sherry! Can't wait to come see it!
AWESOME.... You rock mommy! There is something about really coming through for your kiddos. You did an amazing job. I can't wait to ask Sam about it.
Pretty cool. I saw 2 planets with rings? Something has changed since my school days (besides a whole lot of history added)... Especially looking forward to hearing about Sam's planets.

The sun has a "ring" around it to portray the rays...and then saturn has rings...
You are such a great mommy! And very inspiring!
