Let your little one blast into space with today’s Paper Chalk Art Outer Space craft idea! There’s even a free printable to get them started within a matter of minutes!

Caution! Our chalk art projects are pretty addictive. Even for adults! I’m living proof of that! Every time I think I’m going to put away my pack of chalk, I come up with a NEW idea to share with you all. I hope you are enjoying them as much as I enjoy sharing them!

Today’s Chalk Art Outer Space craft is a budget friendly one. After you hit up the school supply aisle in your local store for a simple pack of colored chalk, you will be well on your way to pulling this “out of this world” craft idea together within minutes. With the main two supplies being paper and your choice of coloring mediums, you really can’t go wrong with this one!

So what are we waiting for? Let’s step outside the traditional and bring the chalk that you normally use outdoors on the sidewalks, indoors on paper instead! All the details and the free outerspace printable from us can be found below.

Don’t let this abstract craft idea slip away. Make room in your busy summer schedule to recreate this chalk art space craft with your child today & then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pictures so tag them with #gluedtomycrafts on your social media sites!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper space creations!

Make It Your Own:

Instead of printing the free planet and space rocket file we provided above, on a simple sheet of white cardstock, you can easily swap it out for colored paper instead and take out the “coloring in” step listed above.

Don’t feel limited by my choice of colors that I used as an example in this tutorial. Experiment with different colors of paper and chalk, to see what really makes your dress POP from the page.

On that note, did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the colors more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before.

Don’t have a printer? No worries my friends! Just hand-draw your pieces on regular paper and cut them out, instead!

Make crafty memories with your child that will melt your heart forever. Tap into their creativity with the help of us!
