Encourage little ones to explore the room at different learning stations. • MakerSPACE Space Station: Create the frame of the space station using giant boxes, and make sure to make the station open and wide enough for little ones to play inside. They will have a BLAST making the “guts” of the space station using materials such as boxes, strips of tape, old key boards, calculators, PVC pipe, bubble wrap, memory cards, RAM, glow-in-the-dark stars, and other supplies that will spark children's imaginations. Include a communication station that has old telephones, headphones, and computer monitors that little ones can use to call planet Earth. • Planet Exploration: Have little ones make pictures in the moon sand (giant wading pools full of sand) with the different-size moon rocks (painted rocks). They can pile them high, bury them, weigh them on a scale, analyze them with a magnifying glass, or anything they can come up with. • Extraterrestrial Space Bags: Create a station where little ones can explore different space-themed sensory bins and bags. For example, a bag of small rocks can be space sand, a bag of cooked pasta can be alien tentacles.
