Description
Ready for liftoff? Count down to your own at-home space voyage with four hands-on STEAM activities! Mold a galaxy in the palm of your hand with sensory-rich Galactic Goo glitter slime; connect star beads to recreate night-sky constellations (or create your own) with Constellation Creation; take a deep breath and launch a rocket into the atmosphere as you explore Newton's Laws of Motion with the Straw Rocket; and create colorful Cosmic Swirl chalk art as you explore the spiral shape of the Milky Way, the galaxy containing our own Solar System!
Note: This kit includes a small sampling of activities from our Space Camp virtual camp. If your child is registered for that camp, we suggest waiting for a later kit.
