Today’s post is an educational one. We are turning simple supplies into an “U” Is for Universe piece, where kids can make their own version of what the galaxy and outer-space looks like them!

Paper “U” is for Universe – Kid Craft Idea

This latest paper craft idea from Glued To My Crafts was actually inspired by some leftover stickers I had from our Paint Splat Moon tutorial from last year.

After thinking long and hard on what I could use them up on, this “U” is for Universe kid craft idea was born.

But wait – there’s more! Since I love to make it super simple for our readers to recreate our tutorials, there’s even a FREE universe cutout printable for you to download, print and use!

Paper and various embellishments come together to make a unique and one-of-a-kind universe piece within minutes! Perfect for craft time AND reinforcing the letter “U” in the classroom!

Sounds amazing, right?! So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab those craft supplies and get to work on making this paper piece today!
