Space Scouts Review – Months 1 + 2
This is what arrived in my box. Month 1 comes in a reusable metal lunchbox and Month 2 comes in a bubble mailer.
Month 1 – everything! Month 1 includes:
- Introduction to the Space Scouts Program
- Space Scouts Lunchbox
- Space Scouts Solar System Poster
- Space Scouts Activity Sheet
- Space Scouts Sticker Scramble
- Space Scouts Souvenir Toy
- Space Scouts Constellation Card Startup Kit (cover & ring)
- Introduction to Space Scouts Constellation Cards
The sticker scramble was really a hit.
So were the Wikki Stix. I think they’re wax covered string? They are awesome. Super bendable and reusable.
This activity was connect the dots with the Wikki Stix.
She enjoyed this and had fun trying to figure out the names of the planets!
He was so proud of his creation.
There are multiple games and activities included in every box. I loved the matching/decoding activity for her (as well as practice writing her letters smaller) and especially the starter crossword!
The starter kit also comes with a solar system poster.
Month 2 – The kids had seen the general information card in the first box that showed the photo of the space grabber. They were out of their minds when they opened the second month and found it. Seriously, this toy has been played with over and over. They will not put it down, and I’m excited that they have added something science-based to their imaginative play (which has been firefighter, pirate, etc focused). Every month comes with:
- Space Scouts Exploration Plan
- Space Scouts Magnet
- Space Scouts Sticker
- Space Scouts Activity Sheet
- Space Scouts Sticker Scramble
- Space Scouts Souvenir Toy
- Space Scouts Constellation Card
- Space Scouts Constellation Activity Sheet
You can see that our focus for Month 2 is the Ursa Major constellation!
Just an example of some of the paper-based activities!
We put the magnet on the lunchbox.
And the stickers on the poster!
She was just practicing her astronaut retrieval.
Space Scouts also inspired our moon cake!
