Let’s Learn About the Solar System – Printable Planet Mini-Book

Are you looking for a hands-on activity to help your students call the order of the 8 planets? Through this activity, students will create a mini-notebook to help them remember the order of the planets within our solar system.

Instructions:

Print pages 1 and 2 back-to-back, and choose to flip on the short edge. Print the page of planets single-sided. Use the ‘Actual size’ printer setting for the best results.

Cut the mini-book page in half along the solid cutting line.

Fold along the fold lines to match the illustrations.

Glue the matching letter pages together, joining the two halves with page ‘B’.

Color the Sun and the planets.

Cut out the Sun and the label and stick them on the first page inside the mini-book.

Stick the planets in the correct order one to a page, including the back page of the mini-book.
