How to make a jet pack

The red and silver jet pack- all ready to fly to the moon for lunch

You will need
A box ( a shoe box a little smaller or bigger will do depending on the size of the child)
scissors
alfoil
paste
paint
string
coloured construction paper

How you make it
* Paint the box and let dry
* While drying cut out shapes out of carboard we chose stars to go with the moon theme but go with what ever you like.
* Rip shreds of alfoil both you and your child can do this then when painted area is dry paste the alfoil to the non painted areas.
* Then decorate with stars or whatever you have chosen
make holes in the non lidded side of the box to pull through your string straps
* Measure the string to you child making sure they are a bit bigger rather than smaller
make loops through the holes and then knot
Now your jet pack is ready to go

Activities to do with the jet pack
* Have a tea party on the moon
* Catch stars
* Do a moon dance
* Do a moon walk
* Put out your wings ( Arms) and fly around the moon

Songs to sing

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there's nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky so deep
Through my curtains often peep
For you never close your eyes
’Til the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Catch a falling star
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

Have lots of fun!
