![]() ![]() You’ve created an Earth using playdough!.Finally, add pieces of green onto the blue ball.The playdough ball should keep getting bigger the more colors you add to it.(I share below how we made our brown playdough.) Then, repeat this process with the colors: yellow, brown and blue.You should have an orange ball that is slightly bigger now.Insert the red ball into the flattened orange playdough and roll it together until the red playdough is taken over by the orange playdough.Then, roll orange into a ball Flatten it out on a table.First, roll a small red ball with playdough.Here are the steps we took to put this simple kids activity together: How to make playdough into a fun layers of the Earth project Playdough (We used green and blue playdough to make Earth).Note: Because Earth Day is around Easter, you may want to check out, “ How to dye Brown Eggs for Easter”! Here are four of our previous playdough activities:Īnd for some of our fun preschool science activities: Have you checked out some of our other playdough activities? To learn how we made it and how we used this playdough to learn about the Earths core, the crust and mantle, I’ll be sharing it all below! This project is a very easy and a simple activity that incorporates learning about the layers of the Earth. We love playdough especially when they involve fun science projects. You can spin them to see the facts about each layer or just see the layers without writing.Layers of the Earth Project using Playdough Secure the fastener at the back of the black circle. Put the yellow circle on next, then the orange, the red, and finally the black circle. Take a paper fastener and poke it through the center of the blue circle on the top side with the continents. On a small piece of white paper write 25 Miles and glue it on the black circle right above the other miles you wrote. Above that on the red circle write 1,800 Miles. Above that on the orange circle write 1,367 Miles. On the opposite side of the yellow circle write 778 Miles on the edge. If you choose, write the mileage on the circles. On a small piece of white paper write Crust, and glue it on the black circle right above the word mantle. Right above that write Mantle on the red circle. Right above that write Outer Core on the orange circle. Use the marker to write Inner Core on the top edge of the yellow circle. Lay the black circle down, put the red one on top of that, then the orange, and then the yellow. Glue the green continents onto the blue earth. Discard the fourth piece, you don’t need it. You can look up pictures of continents to make look very realistic, or just kind of wing it and cut out some different green shapes that resemble the continents.Ĭut out one fourth of the blue circle so you have three fourths of it left intact. ![]() Using the green paper, cut out shapes that resemble some of the continents. black and blue paper make 11 ½” circles.Use the compass to draw circles on the colored paper in these sizes: 6 Pieces 12”x12” Paper-red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black.With this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll have this craft ready for your preschoolers in no time. It doesn’t get any easier than that! Layers of the Earth Preschool Craft This simple preschool craft is easy to assemble with just some paper and glue. And, you can choose how in depth you want to go as to what each layer does and the depth of each one. Until now! This Earth preschool craft is super simple to make. But, there really isn’t much for preschoolers. Activities that go in depth about the layers of the earth, their purposes, and more. There are so many Earth science activities for older kids. Explore the inside of the earth with this easy layers of the Earth preschool craft! It’s perfect for Earth Day and your Earth science activities. ![]()
