You can make homemade space themed party invitations easily and inexpensively. Making homemade party invitations is a lot of fun for kids. This article will provide you with detailed instructions on creating homemade space themed party invitations for kids featuring planets and a spaceship.

Planets

You can make homemade space themed party invitations featuring planets using very few items. For this homemade invitation you will need heavy paper, scissors, a bowl, a pencil, paint, and a paintbrush. Start by folding the paper in half.

Place the bowl on the paper so that the top of the bowl slightly over hangs the folded edge of the paper. Then trace the rim of the bowl to create a circle. Trace as many circles onto the paper as you can fit without overlapping. Then cut the circles out. Make sure to leave the folded edge to make your invitation have two sides.

Then use the paint and the paintbrush to add the details to your plant. Circles and stripes are fun, and you can use a sponge to add detail and texture. You may want to research what the planets look like before you decide how to paint your homemade space themed party invitation. After the paint has dried you can fill in the necessary information on the inside of the invitation and send it to your guests.

Space Ship

A fun spaceship is a great focal point of a homemade space themed party invitation. For this homemade party invite you will need heavy paper, scissors, glue, a pencil, and construction paper. You may also like to use markers or crayons for smaller details.

Start by folding the paper in half to create the basic homemade invitation. Then use the construction paper to make the space ship. Draw a small circle on gray construction paper. You can use a cup to trace a circle. Then draw a very thin and long oval to be the outer edge of the space ship. Cut these shapes out. Also cut several small circular shapes for windows and three small triangles.

Glue the circle to the middle of the front of the invitation. Place the oval horizontally across the circle and glue in place. Add the smaller circles to the edge of the oval like space ship windows. Then add the three triangles to the bottom of the space ship. Feel free to add more details with the paper if you like. When the glue has dried this homemade space themed invitation is ready to be sent to party guests.

The Differences Between the Right and Left Hemisphere of the Brain

 

The brain is an amazing part of the human body; in fact it is what controls the rest of the body, and it is what makes everything work. The brain is made up of the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere, and they both function differently. It is important to be a healthy person to have a good balance between both sides of the brain, but most people are dominated by one side or the other. This article will help you understand the different attributes to both sides of the brain, and it will help you realize which side of your brain you are dominated by.

Both sides of the brain process information differently. The "left hemisphere is analytical, breaking things down into separate parts in order to understand the whole" (Turgeon, 1994, p.15). This side of the brain does not examine this as a whole. "The tendency of the left brain to focus mainly on details that have emotional impact often results in a loss of objectivity and to some extent isolates it from reality" (Turgeon, 1994, p.15). This method of focusing on details allows the left brain to create strict plans and rules that can not live up to the changes that are always abundant in life. Left brain is the "action brain", and it is not concerned with "the reasons driving it toward a goal, only how to get there" (Turgeon, 1994, p.16). This is productive because it helps to formulate plans of action, but the plans may not necessarily work because the reasoning behind the goal is not there. This method of thinking requires trial and error.

The right part of the brain has an "overview of things," and it relates events to each other and studies the effects of their interaction" (Turgeon, 1994, p.16). The right hemisphere seems to take in many ideas in a more global general view; it does not stick to strict facts instead it works of several differing ideas and scenarios. "The right hemisphere is systemic, grasping the whole system at once and making sense of the parts within this overall context" (Turgeon, 1994, p.15). The right part of the brain thinks in terms of the whole plan instead of the details, and it checks it with already existing experience of events to see what the outcome may be. The left side of the brain's function is to "accumulate knowledge", and the right part of the brain's function is to "support creative thought" (Turgeon, 1994, p.17).

It is amazing how many differences there are in the two parts of the brain, but I hope this overview of the brain has helped you understand how you use your brain so that you can make better
