<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy do kids love space?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It’s true, most children really do love outer space! But why? Space is just one of those naturally appealing topics for children. Simply put, children are inherently curious and drawn to learning everything they can about the world around them, and this includes outer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is learning about outer space important for children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Learning about space is important for many reasons. Just like learning about nature and wildlife, space helps remind children that they’re a part of something bigger than themselves. Next, studying and exploring space and related concepts can be a greater jumping off point for learning about science, physics, engineering, maths and other vital STEM concepts and skills. These skills will serve children throughout school and moving on to their future lives and careers. Finally, learning about space can also teach the importance of venturing into the unknown, thinking creatively and asking questions that begin with, ‘what if…?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you teach children about space?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are many fun and effective ways to help your child learn about space. Books are a wonderful place to start, and there are countless great non-fiction and science fiction books out there to help your child begin their space reading journey! Of course children can also learn from playing and doing. STEM sets, puzzles and arts & crafts projects are hands-on ways to encourage learning. And don’t forget the importance of pretend play! Open-ended space-themed toys can help cultivate your child’s imagination and sense of wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What should I get a kid who wants to be an astronaut?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Space-themed toys, puzzles and STEM building kits make excellent gifts for kids who want to be our future astronauts when they grow up. Look for toys that encourage learning and fun through hands-on play, building and experimenting, pretend-play and reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What should I buy for a kid who loves space?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kids who love space are usually kids who love learning! And this means that they’ll love books, toys and games that will help them feed their appetite for more space knowledge. In particular, you might want to look for space-themed toys that include educational activity booklets, posters and fact sheets. Next stop: an interview at NASA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the best space toys for toddlers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While toddlers might be too young to start grasping the bigger scientific concepts involved in space, they’ll love playing with space-themed toys. Look out for space-themed stacking toys, pretend play astronaut figures, play spaceships and other chunky, tactile, colourful toys that will begin to spark your toddler’s interest in the wonderful world of outer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
