Introducing our SPACE MINI UNIT for kids from 3-5 years of age! Lots of hands-on learning activities!

- Dry erase pens, chalk markers, writing pencils or coloured pencils
- Crayons
- kid-friendly scissors
- (optional) educational toys to go along with these materials like Safari Toob Planets and Space Toobs
Space Themed Beginning Letter Clipcards
This is one of our favourite activities, identifying the names of heavenly bodies and identifying their beginning letters. This is also one of the methods that we use to learn vocabulary words and familiarize ourselves with the planets' names.
Space Themed Spot and Cover Game
This is a fun colour matching and identification activity that requires manipulatives like snap cubes. Give the colour code, and the child will “cover” the planets with the indicated manipulative. This is another way we practice identifying planets and other space objects. A blank code is also provided so you can create your own colour codes for this activity.
Space Themed Matching and Memory Game
This is a Montessori-inspired game of matching activity and memory game. The child will match the pictures in the cards to the matching sheets. Also, you can use the cut-out cards to play memory game. You just need to cut the card page twice so each picture will have a pair.
Space Themed Reading Thermometer and Learning Tens
Vito enjoyed our penguin themed temperature reading activity early this year, so I made another set for him (Space Themed Thermometer Reading Activity). This is a great practice for learning how to recognize and read numbers in “tens”.
Space Themed Number Puzzles
Vito loved this activity too! It’s a great way to memorize the order of the planets in the solar system, together with the ordering of numbers too.
