Planet Puzzles and Magnets

There are a number of different crafts that you can make by simply cutting out some pictures that you find in magazines or on the internet. You can make a planetary puzzle by taking a picture of something with an astronomy theme and cutting it up into smaller pieces. Test your knowledge by trying to put the pieces back together again. Make the puzzle sturdier by gluing the picture to a piece of heavy cardboard before you make it into pieces. You can use a similar concept to make magnets as well. Find a picture that you like and reinforce it with the cardboard backing. Attach a magnet to the back of the picture and there you have it. Find a picture of the whole solar system and cut out the planets to make individual magnets for your fridge. Add to your solar system slowly by learning more about individual planets and making more magnets of their planets, rings, etc.
