Moon Craters Space Theme Craft

We made Moon Craters Space Theme Craft with Crayola Air Dry clay. {This idea is originally from Prekinders.} The kids used bouncy balls and marbles to push into the clay to create craters. After they were dry we painted them with gray paint. I couldn’t find little flags at the craft stores so I made some by printing flags on cardstock and attaching it to a toothpick.
