Saturn Rings

Materials Needed:
Hole punch
String or yarn
Paper plates
Scissors
Watercolors

What to Do:
Supply the art center with paper plates, watercolors and brushes.
Invite children to come to the art center to explore with the materials provided.
Once the paint is dry, cut the center of the paper plate out leaving it connected by a small amount on both sides.
Twist the rim of the plate so it is at a 90 degree angle. The center of the plate will represent Saturn and the rim will represent its rings.
Poke a hole in the top of what will now be the planet Saturn and then tie a string through it and hang in the window.
