Wrap black duct tape all the way around an empty glue stick. Be sure to cover all the yellow parts!To make a circular window for the spaceship, set the glue stick on a small piece of tinfoil and use a pencil to trace a circle.Cut around the pencil line, then fold the circle in half. Cut a semi-circle on the straight edge. Unfold the circle, then glue the little circular window onto the spaceship.Cut two wings for the spaceship out of construction paper. Tape them onto the glue stick.Tip: Glue thin stripes of tinfoil onto the spaceship for decoration.Add a cool top to your spaceship! Unscrew the cap from the top of the glue stick, then glue the top of an empty glue bottle onto the cap.Cover the spaceship top with tinfoil and black tape. To make an antenna, put a small ball of tinfoil on the top of a toothpick. Stick the toothpick into the glue bottle top and cover the toothpick with black tape.Screw the cap back onto the glue stick. Look at that amazing spaceship!To make an astronaut, unbend a paper clip and stick one end through the middle of a pencil grip. (An equal length of paperclip should be on either side of the pencil grip; these are the astronaut’s arms.) Wrap masking tape around one end of the pencil grip, then draw a face on the tape with a black marker.Now for a helmet! Wrap a thin strip of masking tape around the bottom of the astronaut’s head. Do the same to the top. Make sure you don’t cover the face! Stick a small circular tab of clear floor protector over the astronaut’s face.Get creative and the astronaut with a colourful spacesuit, antenna, or whatever you like.Put the astronaut inside the spaceship. Lower the astronaut by turning the bottom of the glue stick. Screw on the top of the spaceship.
