50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Snoopy in Space Art Project

July 20th is the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing so I wanted to do a fun lesson with my students about this amazing moment in our history. Snoopy has been a mascot for NASA for 50 years also, and they still award NASA employees with a Silver Snoopy Pin.

I was looking for a fun way to make the moon and found this lesson online
Using this idea I made my Moon on an 8" circle of white paper with metallic silver and white acrylic paint and aluminum foil stampers.

Using this template I cut snoopy out of white card stock.

I cut his nose off to make mine a little bit different.

I used 81/2 X 11" Card Stock as the background. I cut the moon in half and made the edges bumpy then glued it on the background.






Using a cup I covered the spot where snoopy's space helmet would be and made stars by dipping a toothbrush in white paint and scraping my finger over the bristles.




While the stars are drying draw the details on your white snoopy with a pencil and then a Sharpie.






I tied a scarf around his neck using this yarn:






Now it's ready for Snoopy to be glued on the moon and I drew a circle around the cup with a white colored pencil to make his space helmet.







I found the Apollo 11 image and the flag online. If you want to add them I just Googled American Flag and Apollo 11.

Some student work - this is a group from an assisted living center where I teach.








Have Fun Celebrating Apollo 11!!
