Pom Pom Planets

How we did it:
Materials List
- pom-poms (8) - various sizes and colors
- yarn
- wire hanger
- glue
-
Gather pom poms that represent the planets (as pictured, left to right). Mercury: extra small grey, Venus: small yellow, Earth: small blue, Mars: small red, Jupiter: large orange, Saturn: large yellow, Uranus: medium green, Neptune: medium blue.
-
Wrap and/or glue a pipe cleaner around Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune to represent their rings.
-
Cut 8 pieces of yarn in equal lengths. Glue one end of each strand of yarn to a pom pom planet.
-
Once the glue is dry, tie each string (in the order previously pictured) onto a wire hanger.
-
Decorate the top of the hanger by applying stickers, covering it with paper, or hanging stars.
-
He added some glitter glue to make it more outer space like.
-
The planets represent the order from the sun (Mercury on the far left to Neptune on the far right). This was such a fun way to learn and create a model about the solar system.
