Today I'm sharing 10+ fantastic hands-on Space-themed Activities!



You can use them with a space theme, to go with space books, or just for fun!  I love that they are hands-on and involve a lot of discovery for your children!

These are great picks for learning about space. The moon and star magnets are at the top of my list.....and truthfully my kids are probably still a little young for it, but I sooo want to make that planet mobile ;) Thanks for sharing!!

Carla I am SO touched by your post! I am thrilled that you shared such fantastic space themed posts. Both of my kids just can never seem to get enough of learning activities that take them beyond our planet. I am truly grateful for your your friendship and words cannot express how much I appreciate you sharing posts from my site while I battle this illness!

They are adorable, aren't they, Erika?! And you know what else: I overheard my 8-year old telling a friend today about an activity we did when she was five...it's amazing what they learn and remember!

Jill, thank you for your sweet comment! I have enjoyed getting to know you the last few years and wish you the very best luck with this new challenge.

Samantha, I hope you guys get to try a bunch...they look fantastic!!
