My daughter was given an assignment to present the solar system with creativity and originality to her 3rd grade class. Here is what we came up with: The sun with lots of yellow and orange rays.
There is the edge of Mercury, Venus and Earth. To make the green land masses on the Earth cupcake, I put green sprinkles in a plastic baggie, cut the tip off and then drew in the land with the sprinkles.
And then we have Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus ad Neptune. We found all the pictures on nasa.gov. We "glued" the cupcakes and sun cake on the foam board in the morning with frosting to keep them from sliding off the board. My husband delivered it to the school in the afternoon and as far as I know, it traveled well.
This project killed two birds with one stone for me. It was my daughter's birthday, so after the presentation they ate the sun, planets and some other cupcakes that I sent along for the class.
This was actually really fun to work on together. :) But I'm so glad it's done! I am cupcaked out after the project I did over the weekend.
