Plus a BONUS FIVE more Galaxy themed activities!
Galaxy Themed Space Crafts for Kids
Galaxy themes have popped up in parties, fashion, and art lately. We've always had a fascination for the sky. Is that because we're closer now than we ever have been?
Many of these activities require extensive supervision or you just need to do it and let the kids watch. Paint. Slime. Soap. Bath bomb. You get the idea. But they are totally worth it!
31. Galaxy Paint Pour
Older kids will love this one but you'll need all hands on deck to keep the galaxy pour art like this from Homebody Hall under wraps to keep it from making too much of a mess!
32. Galaxy Soap
I'm in LOVE with melt and pour soaps like our mermaid tail soap party favors so when I saw these galaxy soaps from Beauty Crafter I had to add them to the list!
33. Galaxy Slime Recipe
Slime is always a hit and we had a great time combining all these colors to create this gorgeous galaxy slime.
34. Galaxy Bath Bombs
I've tried making a bath bomb or two as gifts and they are much easier than they appear. But these swirled galaxy bath bombs from STEAM Powered Family look like a fun challenge.
35. Sparkly Galaxy Playdough
If slime is too unpredictable for you sparkly Galaxy playdough like this from Made To Be Momma might be just what you're looking for!
