Working on our Solar System, Pt 2

I finally got 'round to having the girls paint their planets. One more step closer to hanging our solar system. That was their science for the day one day last week. I got them all set up and let them do the rest. I hung each plant with a string and attached it to a coat hanger. The bigger planets got their own hanger and the smaller ones were able to share. It took the girls quite some time to get all 8 of them painted. I say 8, because we did not include Pluto in the end.

Grace with Neptune and Uranus, getting ready to paint

Ruth, with Earth-she even tried to make the oceans and continents as well as ice on the poles

The guide they used for painting the planets-Ruth was really into trying to get them all just right

Gracie, working on Saturn, I think

Ruth working on Jupiter-She told me that she needed an ugly green and since we didn't have one, she went about mixing all the colors to create her ugly green.
