Space Boy

So, my latest Child's Own project was sent from a lady in Alberta, Canada. It was an astronaut drawing by her nephew. I learned that you CAN make a decent helmet from crafter's felt (just use pattern to make a ball, then cut out opening for face).

I also came across Roberta Bondar, first female Canadian astronaut in space /environmentalist/physician and scientist/photographer and author/oh..just superwoman extraordinaire. I thought about her while I sewed together the astronaut. Teachers could just use Ms. Bondar as a teaching aid for health and career education; they could cover so many possibilities!
