currycraver Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have a child who is showing an interest in space and space ships. Has anyone provided resources etc suitable for 3 and year olds or suggested links. I couldn't see any on this site. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The book Let's Go, Zudie-o by Helen Macgregor has a dvd of the first moon landing and a lovely dance activity which I have used successfully with 3 and 4 year olds. Lots of opportunities for counting backwards to blast off! I also had planet shapes and numbered spacecraft as a felt board activity. As my husband works with satellites I banned the rhyme '5 little men in a flying saucer'-but that was just personal prejudice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
