For Public Schools Week, Katie had to create a model of the solar system. I was so proud that Katie wanted to create an original model and not just buy a kit. She also insisted on doing the work herself. (My main job was keeping clay and paint off her clothes and the floor.) We bought the supplies on a Saturday, and then on Sunday, she got to work.
Step 1: Knead the clay (while enjoying a sucker!)

Step 2: Sketch the planets and their orbits

Step 6: Let the planets dry![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E0QoaUU-wBE/RfXo4abbaaI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/0WREAe9iww0/s320/6drying.jpg)
Step 7: Admire the finished product!
