Grab a piece of paper and draw, color, and label a large circle (sun), medium circle (earth), and small circle (the moon)

Draw yourself or another human/animal standing on top of Earth

STEP TWO

Cut out two strips of paper (at least four inches long)

Bonus points for coloring in those strips of paper as a nightsky

Cut out your earth, moon, and sun

STEP FOUR

Glue or tape your earth to one end of a paper strip and then glue your moon to one end of the second paper strip

STEP FIVE

Come see Ms. Russel for TWO metal brads

Poke a hole through your sun and the other end of your paper strip with Earth attached to the other end. Put the metal brad through both holes, bending the ends flat to secure the sun to the paper strip with earth

STEP SEVEN

Using the second brad, poke a hole through your earth and the strip of paper with the moon attached to one end. Put the metal brad through both holes, bending the ends flat to secure the earth and the moon strip
