The earth, our home planet, and the star of Earth Day celebrations everywhere! Celebrate Earth Day or examine Earth's place in the solar system, with a fun and easy craft, perfect for children nine and up. Paper mache ornaments, paint, and sand are used to create mini versions of our planet. What is neat, is that these can be used in a large scale model of the solar system or as you study geography.
