You will need at least one sheet of watercolor paper, a set of watercolor paints with basic colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and black), a paintbrush, a black Sharpie and a white crayon. This is an easy and fun drawing of outer space that a young child will enjoy. Put your pencil on the left edge of the paper, then draw a semi-circle that ends at the top left edge of the paper. It will look like a very large planet that is only partly visible in the top left corner of paper.  This is much easier for kids to draw than a perfect circle. Make sure the entire planet isn’t visible! Only the bottom part of the planet should be visible in the top corner. These don’t have to be perfect, so use your imagination! Put the rocket approximately in the center of the page. To create it, draw a skinny rectangle and then add a triangle on top. Then draw flames coming from the bottom of it. Next, create 3 planets of various sizes by drawing a medium circle and 2 smaller circles. They don't have to be perfect circles!  Spread the objects out over the page so that it looks full. Add craters and rings to the planets to make them a little more interesting. After all of the objects have been created, use a black Sharpie to trace over all of the lines of the drawing. Be sure to use a permanent marker, since regular water-based markers will bleed when the watercolor painting begins. Fill the background up with plenty of stars by drawing lots of tiny X’s all over the paper with a white crayon. You must press down very hard with the crayon if you want the stars to be visible after the background is painted black with watercolor paint. Choose whatever colors you want for the objects, just make sure you reserve the black paint for the background only. You could paint the large planet orange, the rocket blue, and the tiny planets red, green and purple. Any other variation works great too! Allow the paint to dry before filling in the background with black paint.  If you don’t wait for the paint to dry first, the black paint will bleed into the colored objects and vice versa. It should only take about 10 minutes to dry enough to proceed. Once the paint for the planets and rocket has dried, fill the background in using plenty of black watercolor paint. The white stars drawn all over the background with crayon will show through the watercolor paint. Once complete, give the painting about 10 minutes to dry fully.

Summary: Gather your supplies. Draw the bottom half of a large planet in the top left corner. Draw a rocket and a few tiny planets on the page. Trace the lines of the drawing with a Sharpie. Add stars with a white crayon. Paint the rocket and planets first. Fill the background in with black paint.


Once you have selected the wig you would like to buy, you can go into your nearest wig store and buy one in person. Look for synthetic wigs or human hair wigs, based on your preference. Wigs can range in cost from $50 to hundreds of dollars. Make sure you find a wig that fits your needs and your budget.  You can also buy wigs online at online wig boutiques. However, when buying a wig online, you should have a good sense of the cut, color, and style of wig you are looking for to ensure it fits your needs. You can also use your measurements to buy a wig that will fit your head properly. If you are a cancer patient who is buying a wig as part of the chemotherapy process, your insurance company may cover part or all of the cost of the wig.  There are also certain organizations, like the Breast Cancer Society, who give wigs out for free. Talk to your doctor about your insurance options and reach out to cancer support programs in your area to see if you qualify for a free wig or a discount on a wig. Whether you buy your wig in person or online, you will need to know the size of your head.  Take a cloth measuring tape and wrap it around your head. It should start in the middle of your forehead, go down to the base of the skull where the wig will end, and then wrap back up to meet the start of the tape on the forehead.  Make sure as you wrap the tape around your head, that you keep the tape above your ears. The average size of a head's circumference is 22 inches. Testing the fit of the wig is the most important element of the buying process. You want to make sure the cap of the wig fits snugly on your head without irritating your scalp.  Many caps in wigs come with tabs that can be adjusted to fit the size of your scalp. But you should aim to find a wig that is the closest fit to the circumference measurement of your head. Some wigs also contain double-sided tape used to secure the wig in place.  If you are bald, you may want to wear a skull cap pieces inside the cap to prevent the wig from irritating your skin.  If you are wearing a wig over your natural hair, some wigs can be securely attached to hairpins or comb pieces. Make sure your wig comes with a good return policy. If your wig irritates the skin on your scalp, then make sure you will be able to return it or exchange it for a more comfortable wig. If you buy your wig online, it should also have an excellent return policy. You may be worried about keeping your wig in place when you wear it, but may wigs come with an adjustable band that you can fit to your head so the wig stays secure.  You can also buy a cushion band, which is a gel filled headband that you put on under the wig. The cushion band will make the wig more comfortable to wear and relieve any pressure points caused by wearing the wig. You can also use a wig gripper, which is an adjustable headband made of fabric that creates friction around your hairline. This friction will help the wig stay in place. Some people also use toupee clips, which clip into your own hair and into the wig to keep the wig in place.

Summary: Go to a wig store. Measure the circumference of your head. Try the wig on to ensure it is comfortable. Use the adjustable band so the wig stays in place.


Look for a specialized whitewall tire cleaner in the automotive section of a department store or hardware store. Regular cleaners like Comet can work well to remove dirt and discoloration on the tires, but they can dry out the tires in the process, leading to early wear. Cleaning products containing alcohol or chlorine bleach should be avoided for the same reason. For the best results, opt for all-natural whitewall tire cleaners (e.g. Simple Green). Use an SOS pad for regular cleaning of whitewall tires. Use a hose to wet the tires. Wet the SOS pad as well. If your chosen tire cleaning product is in spray form, spray it directly onto wet tires. If it is a liquid, mix the product in a bucket with water (as per the directions on the label). Soak your SOS pad in the mixture. Put a generous effort into cleaning your whitewall tires thoroughly. The effectiveness of the cleaning is just as contingent on the duration and intensity of the scrubbing as it is to the products used. If the work is too intense to tackle on your own, enlist the help of a friend or family member. Rinse your tires every few minutes while you wash them to see how clean they are getting. Reapply your cleaning product and continue until you are satisfied with the results after rinsing. After you have scrubbed your tires clean, use the hose to rinse them off thoroughly.
Summary: Use a specialized cleaner. Wet the tires and cleaning pad. Apply the cleaning product. Scrub tires thoroughly. Rinse off your tires.
