Space Crafts & Activities for Kids to help them explore all the wonder of outer space! As a kid I loved learning about outer space. At one point I took the time to map out the stars in our galaxy using those glow in the dark stars you can stick on your ceiling. My parents had some fun with that after I moved out!
Whether you are looking to spark some interest or if your child wants to be an astronaut when they grow up, these space crafts and activities will keep your kids busy and learning!

Some marvellous ideas gathered together here, love the Galaxy slime. Kids could spend hours playing with these, lots of choice too.

We started the Galaxy in a Jar but with all the Halloween excitment it was hard for the kids to focus so we will continue later
