For Kids who love space
gift guide 2019 | posted: Invalid date
They can name the planets from Mars to Pluto, their bedroom is wall papered in NASA space posters, and they can tell you how fast a rocketship zooms through outerspace. These fun gifts will add to their collection and spark their imagination. After all, don't we all aspire to be astronauts when we grow up?
1.
Space Jams Astronaut Shirt
This punk astronaut is rocking a green mohawk and laying into some serious space jams. Roll it up and tie with a fancy hair accesory for your daughter, or fit it snugly in your nephew's Christmas stocking. They can wear this casually to play dates or dress it up with a jean jacket for preschool!
2.
Official NASA Photo Logo Notebook
Can't go wrong with this practical space gift! The cover features an official NASA photo and logo, and it's backpack or desk drawer friendly sized at 5x8" Your little astronaut can journal their thoughts and space mission plans. Artemis Space Bookery has many more photo covers to choose from, but this is our favorite.
3.
Giant Magnetic Solar System
We've purchased competitors and they just aren't nearly the quality of these magnets. Learning Resources provides a durable, large and size appropriate soar system set. We pair this with a cheap oil drip tray affixed to the wall with command strips for a one-of-a-kind, educational gift.
4.
Celestial Throw Blanket
We're passing on the latest glow-in-the-dark blankets (we're skeptical that they would get enough light during the day to glow brightly at night. And we LOVE this design. It's very well reviewed for solar system-obsessed toddlers, ultra soft fleece.
5.
Lego Space Shuttle
We couldn't make it through a kids space gift list without including a very awesome LEGO product! It is compatible with standard LEGO construction and the ship features an opening bay, fold out wings and an robotic arm. Ther eis also room in the cockpit to fit a LEGO minifigure astronaut, which is INCLUDED with the set.
6.
Rocketship Play Tent
Your little astronaut will be ready to BLAST OFF in this adorable play tent. It is safe (flame retardant and doesn't contain PVC). It goes together with sticks and you can remove them for easy storage. We thought the starry theme was a great touch!
7.
3D Illusion Rocket Lamp
It changes to 7 different colors! This is a great toy alternative gift, and space crazy kiddos can fall asleep while imagining they're headed Mars or on the Artemis Mission in 2024.
