How to make the Astronaut Helmet Craft

Print our astronaut helmet template. Cut it out and trace onto a piece of poster board. Cut the helmet piece out.
Let your child decorate the helmet however they would like.
Cut a strip of construction paper that is 2-3 inches wide. You may need to tape two strips together to get the right length if necessary. Staple the construction paper strip to each side of the helmet, fitting it to your childs head so it will stay on.
Note: Generally we dont like using staples on kid crafts, but tape just doesnt cut it here. Because we err on the side of caution, after stapling the strip on, we covered over the staples with a piece of tape to make sure there were no pokey parts.
