Large Dart Board

This 29 inch dart board is a great game for the family to play both indoors or outdoors. It can be stored easily when not in use and that is always a hit with parents needing easy storage activities.

We’ve purchased variations of these stickers before such as ice cream cones, animals and Halloween costumes. They are always a hit with the kids and a great one to earn some laughs.

Space Bean Bag Toss

This easy to store game is actually a 3 in 1 set up. Bean bag toss, dart board, and tic tac toe are all a part of this space themed game.

This is a great idea for the harder to shop for grandkids who want “older kid” toys. This is listed as being designed for ages 8 and up and includes all the needed materials and instructions.

My First Book of Planets

A great fit for grandkids who are just beginning to get interested in space and want to learn more. Lots of great reviews from parents and the pictures look incredible in the previews.

Felt Story Board

Flannel storyboards seem like a staple in my childhood and I’m glad they are making a bit of a comeback. What kid doesn’t love to make a scene only to be able to rearrange it all again and again? This is another one of those easy to store activities that parents will appreciate, but the size of the storyboard will be appreciate by outer space loving toddlers.

Little Experimenter Telescope for Kids

A great way to kids to explore the solar system in their own bedrooms. This telescope will project 24 different images on the walls at 2x the size. This is a great option to test out a child’s interest before investing in a telescope.

I remember my kids having so much fun hanging decor from their ceilings including all those glow in the dark stars!

When I’m an Astronaut Book

A great inspirational book for older grandkids. There is a corresponding activity book as well.

Solar Rover Science Kit

This cool kit includes are the parts necessary to build one solar powered car. There are lots of little pieces so this is a great one for older grands or kids who’s parents want a project to complete together.

Battleship Outer Space Game

We started playing battleship with our granddaughter Morgan when she was 5 and simply made adjustments such as playing with 1-2 ships or using half the board. She loves it! She asks to play the game often.
