gravel, pebbles and junk modelling boxes for construction.

Astronaut mission:
Take off and orbit earth, find a planet, land safely, build a space station
and move in ...
Encourage mark making, literacy and design with clipboards, sheets of plain & pre-filled
paper, crayons and pencils. Use rulers to measure height and tape to look at circumference & distance.
Introduce a safety compass to show how, from a static/stationary position
an adjoining marker can track out circles and those circles can be
snipped to form nose cones .. blast off, set down, moon walk, and float
though physical play as any space theme develops in response to your
children's interests.
