<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Solar Eclipse Wreath Craft is an excellent addition to the space crafts<\/a> and wreath crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n A wreath is a collection of items around a circle. It can be used as a seasonal decoration around a house.<\/p>\n This is a simple wreath for a solar eclipse. You have the five parts of the solar eclipse. You can do a total solar eclipse and annular eclipse, or you could even do a partial solar eclipse wreath.<\/p>\n The wreath is a great way to teach kids about the five stages of a solar eclipse.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story<\/a> is a great one for solar eclipses. And love that it is a fun story and well as facts.<\/p>\n Eclipse<\/a> by Andy Rash is a fun look at the total solar eclipse and how fun they are. This shows the plans they took to go see a solar eclipse.<\/p>\n Totality!: An Eclipse Guide in Rhyme and Science<\/a> is full of facts and information about solar eclipse. This a great great science book for kids to learn more about eclipses.<\/p>\n Eclipse: Our Sky’s Most Dazzling Phenomenon<\/a> is a book coming in 2024 in time for the next Total solar eclipse that has information about solar eclipse and lunar eclipse!<\/p>\n You use just the 1 1\/2 inch circle punch<\/a> for the Total Solar Eclipse and you use it and the 1 inch circle punch<\/a> for the annular solar eclipse.<\/p>\n You will see the steps below we used to make this total solar eclipse craft. And at the end is changes for annular solar eclipse.<\/p>\n We used a black dot marker to paint the paper plate. Dot marker dry quickly and make it great for crafts you want to do in a short time.<\/p>\n You could also use watercolors<\/a> to paint the paper plate black.<\/p>\n You want to have 5 black circles and 4 yellow circles for the total solar eclipse Wreath. You can do this in advance if you want or let kids do it.<\/p>\n Kids love to use the punches to help make their crafts.<\/p>\n You can see the sizes and how they look below. You want to make sure you have the correct number for the wreath. You only need 4 yellow. And we love using this glitter paper for crafts.<\/p>\n After you have the circles punched out, you will have to lay out the circles in the correct order for the solar eclipse. You will notice that the total eclipse is just a black circle.<\/p>\n You see the steps below for putting the eclipse on the wreath.<\/p>\n You paint a circle for while the total eclipse will go. Use you a cotton swab and white paint. This gives it the white background that you see with a total solar eclipse.<\/p>\n Then you glue the black circle on the wreath where you painted. The white paint will stick out behind the black circle for the total solar eclipse.<\/p>\n You want to blue the rest of the sequence of the eclipse around the Total eclipse in order. We went clock wise around the wreath.<\/p>\n You will see the changes below to make this an Annular solar eclipse wreath.<\/p>\n You want to use a smaller circle punch for the black circles than the yellow glitter paper for the sun. You can see the size difference below. We used 1 inch for the black and 1 1\/2 inch for the yellow.<\/p>\n You also want to have 5 of the black and 5 of the yellow glitter.<\/p>\n When you place the annular solar eclipse on the wreath you want to make sure the black circles is in the middle of the yellow. And then you follow the directions above for everything else.<\/p>\n Make a fun ring of fire for the wreath.<\/p>\n If you want some help with the sequencing of the solar eclipses you can use the Solar Eclipse Sequencing Set<\/a> to help. It has pictures that show the different types of sequencing for the solar eclipses.<\/p>\n Click here to buy your copy of the Sequencing: Solar Eclipse at Teachers Pay Teachers.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/div>\n Solar Eclipse Weekly Packs<\/a> has 6 grade level of packs with prek, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade and fourth grade.
