Colour in the spacesuit, the helmet visor, the buttons on the chest panel and the flag. A spacesuit is often white: then just colour the edges and the buttons.
Cut out the body and the arms and legs along the dashed line.
A grown-up pokes a hole in each circle with a cross, for example with the point of a pencil on a rubber.
Put an arm behind the body so the holes line up exactly. Push a split pin through from the front and bend the legs apart at the back. Do the same with the other arm and with the legs.
Done! Make the astronaut wave the flag and go for a moonwalk. Glue it on a black sheet with stars for a space picture.
Print on thick paper (160 gsm) so the holes don't tear so easily.
