PAGE A4, KEIZERTIMES, JANUARY 18, 2019 for kids by kids make it CORNER Nebula Jar What you’ll need: Clear jar with a lid to hold your galaxy, Water, paint and glitter to give it some life Add cotton balls for texture and cool visual eff ects, A spoon to push everything down, and an adult to share your galaxy with. (You may also want to lay down some newspaper to avoid making a mess, just don’t use this one!) What to do: The foundation for any sort of life is water, so poor a little of it into your jar. Next add paint to give your galaxy some color, add the cotton balls and then put some glitter on top for some extra sparkle. Use the spoon to press things down and create more room. Stir things around so that the cotton ball absorbs the paint color and water. Repeat the water, paint, cotton ball and glitter process until you’ve reached the top. Then screw the lid on fi rmly and you’re done. You can use a diff erent color of paint or glitter each layer or you can keep it simple and use the same all the way through. Now you have your own little nebula that you can keep anywhere you’d like.

We’re not talking about the last time you asked your parents a question, they gave an answer, and you thought that was enough. We mean asked-your- parents-and-your-teach- er, searched-the-internet, checked-out-a-book-at-the- library curious. That’s radical curiosity and, if you’ve got it, we want you to be a junior re- porter for No Adults Allowed. All junior reporters will receive an offi cial Junior Press Badge from the Keizertimes when their stories get printed. Reporters are also known as journalists, and when we’re lucky – and good at our jobs – we get to do all sorts of cool things. But, it starts with curiosity and, really, curiosity is just being brave enough to ask questions we don’t know the answers to. We want you to be our eyes and ears in your middle or elementary school. Are you project or the classroom pet? Why is probably the hardest working on a cool art project in school?
