Once you realize what you children are interested in, you can provide the materials to expand their learning in those areas.
Here are 6 fun activities for those space loving children out there.
1.
All you need is a large cardboard box, some Christmas lights, and a screw driver to poke the holes. Its a great place to snuggle up and read books….about space, of course. ;)
2.
All you need is a LIGHT PANEL (or not), COLORED SAND, and a straw.
3.
For this activity we used ACRYLIC FILLABLE ORNAMENTS, acrylic paint, fishing line, and FINGER LIGHTS
4.
Grab some balloons, ice molds, and LIQUID WATERCOLORS to make
5.
Using an “old school” projector ($30 on Craigslist) and some TRANSPARENCIES, your child can take a trip to the moon!
6.
Our all time favorite. Use push lights and acrylic paint to make illuminated planets!
(Yes, I know Pluto is no longer a planet.)
