Play with your kid a game "A Distant Planet"!

People are fascinated by cosmos! It's so exciting to imagine distant planets with blue or green clouds, mythical animals and huge plants...

Let's create a miniature of the world that differs from ours!

You'll need an area for making unearthly landscape (e.g. a big box with low edges), sand, stones and the following materials:


  • corrugated cardboard
  • gouache, brush, jar of water
  • plasticine, corks, clips, caps, beads, CD discs, wires, springs, etc .
  • glue

First at all, pour the sand to the box and lay stones - it will be the planet's surface (you can also use: crushed stone, gravel, concrete block, etc.)

A corrugated sheet will be our starry sky.  Paint sky, stars, planets, comets, etc. - all depends on your imagination and desire of the kid.

Put the cardboard to the box as it is shown on the photo:

Now we have the planet's surface and the beautiful starry sky in the background.

Now you can start making flying saucers and aliens.

These are the flying saucers and funny fellows you can get!

So, let's put our aliens on the planet's surface, and start playing!

Come up with the name of your planet, give the names for inhabitants. Be creative and play with your children!

Make photos of your planet and upload to the App. Add some words about the world you've created and wether you liked the game!
