The Sun


Is the sun a planet?

NO! The sun is a star.

It is a huge, spinning, glowing sphere of gas.

The sun is just like the stars that you see in the night sky.

It appears so much larger and brighter that the other stars because we are so close to it.
The sun is the center of our solar system. All of the planets in our solar system, including Earth, orbit around the sun.

Let's sing a song...


Now…it is time to have fun! Let’s make a Paper Plate Sun Craft.

What you'll need:

  • Large paper plate
  • Orange, yellow and black construction paper
  • Yellow and black paint
  • Foam paint brush
  • Glue stick
  • printable sun template

How to make your paper plate sun:

  • Print the template and cut out the pieces. Trace the sunglasses onto black construction paper and cut them out. Trace the triangle pieces onto yellow and orange construction paper and cut them out. You will need 11-12 triangle pieces to create your sun.
  • Turn the paper plate over and glue the triangle pieces onto the edge of the plate.
  • Turn the paper plate right side up and paint the plate yellow.

·          Glue the sunglasses onto the paper plate and paint a  smile on the sun with black paint.
