Take the kids on an intergalactic crafting mission with this fun and easy alien spaceship craft made from popsicle sticks! The perfect way to get creative and have a blast!

Spaceship Made From Popsicle Sticks

Outer space adventure awaits! Just open the door, step outside and let the fun begin {or in our case – grab those craft supplies and clear off the kitchen table for some crafty fun!}

Inspired by my son and a book titled “There Was An Old Martian That Swallowed The Moon” – today I present to YOU our Popsicle Stick Alien Spaceship kid craft idea!

From the creators of the bestselling There Was an Old Monkey Who Swallowed a Frog comes a silly, “out of this world” rendition of the popular “Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” song.

Join the old Martian as he swallows the moon, a comet, a rover, and more! Then he blasts off in his spaceship—beep, beep, ZOOM! Zany illustrations show the alien’s belly growing and growing as he eats his way through the galaxy. But what happens when the Martian gets to the sun? Jennifer Ward’s silly text and Steve Gray’s lively artwork take readers “out of this world” in this fun adaptation of the popular song.

So what are we waiting for? Don’t precious waste time! Grab those craft supplies and follow the simple step-by-step green alien ship craft tutorial below! Don’t forget to read the book afterwards as well! 1-2-3-blastoff!

Craft Supplies:

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
Mini Popsicle Sticks
Small Paper Plate
Craft Paint
Paint Brushes

Directions:

First you will want to assemble the base of the ship with the popsicle sticks. Lay three jumbo popsicle sticks next to each other and glue the two mini popsicle sticks the opposite direction, to create a fence.

Set aside to let it dry.
Now grab your craft paint and paint your popsicle stick piece however you like.
Set aside again, to let it dry completely.
Next grab your paper plate and cardstock.
Cut your paper plate in half. Reserve one half for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
From the cardstock, cut out an alien shape.
Go ahead and glue the wiggle eyes on for him to see.
To finish the Popsicle Stick Alien Spaceship, glue your alien cutout to the back of the popsicle stick shape, followed with the paper plate half.
