Coffee Filter Earth
You'll Need
coffee filter,water,blue & green food coloring,dropper,black construction paper, star stickers

First have the child lay the coffee filter on a newspaper or paper plate. Mix a cup of water with blue food coloring (The darker the water, the better). Have the child squeeze the dropper in the blue liquid and then onto the coffee filter until the filter is completely covered. Allow to dry. Do the same with the green food coloring but this time only a few drops on the filter (to look like land). When dry, glue onto black construction paper and let the child stick some gold star stickers on the paper around the 'earth'. It looks like the planet earth as viewed from outer space.
