Build a Mini Solar System for Your Paper Home!: A Hands-On Space Craft to Explore Planets, Orbits, and Scale in Our Solar System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279456246)

In this playful and educational booklet from City of Innovation, children (ages 6-14) build their own mini solar system to place around a paper home or classroom model. Step by step, they'll:

• Cut out and decorate scaled planet shapes
• Arrange orbits to reflect real planetary distances (simplified for learning)
• Label key features like rings, moons, and rotation directions
• Discover fun facts about each planet's size, color, and position

This hands-on activity blends art, astronomy, and spatial reasoning-helping kids visualize our solar system in a tangible, memorable way. No glue guns or complex tools-just scissors, paper, and curiosity.
