Directions

Start by printing and cutting out all the pieces from the astronaut template. If your child is comfortable with scissors, let them help with simple cuts!

Glue the helmet glass onto the astronaut’s head. Every astronaut needs a strong helmet for their space adventure!

Attach the hair and beard piece inside the glass. Since this astronaut is leprechaun-inspired, they have that classic orange hair!

Next, glue the face on the lower portion of the hair and beard piece. The astronaut is starting to take shape!

Now, it’s time to make the astronaut come to life! Attach the large cartoon eyes to the face.

Use a light pink marker to color in the astronaut’s nose. This small touch makes the face extra adorable!

Help your child use an orange marker to color the eyebrows.

Glue the helmet knobs onto each side of the astronaut’s helmet. Kids can get creative and switch up the colors if they like!

Attach the suit controls to the astronaut’s suit.

Finally, glue the shoes to the bottom of the astronaut’s legs. Now he’s ready for space adventures!

Isn’t this the cutest space-leprechaun ever? We think your kids will love this lucky little astronaut!
