Five Unique Gifts for Space-Mad Kids
Whether it’s astronomy or Star Wars that has captured their imagination, there’s no denying that space continues to fascinate children. The concept of a universe so much bigger than the world they inhabit is hard to comprehend, but it continues to spark little people’s imagination. If you have a child in your life who is crazy for all things space, these five unique gift ideas will ensure your present puts a smile on their face.
Baby Yoda Merchandise
There’s cute and then there’s Grogu, star of Star Wars spinoff series The Mandalorian. More commonly known as Baby Yoda, the big-eared darling of Disney+ is popular with children and adults alike and his face is plastered on everything from stationery to clothing. If in doubt, go for a plushie. Everyone loves a plushie!
A Memorable Trip
For an educational experience which will keep them captivated, why not treat the child in your life to a day out at the Discovery Center Space Museum in Colorado Springs? This interactive museum will answer all the questions they have about everything from rockets to space suits and spark their imagination – perfect for any future astronauts!
Room Revamp
If it’s a mission you’re after, why not surprise your space-mad child with a new bedroom that’s out of this world? Transforming a room into a space-themed paradise doesn’t need to be a daunting task. Paint the walls dark blue, add planet wall stickers and glow in the dark stars to the ceiling and look for bedding, curtains and rugs in a rocket design and you will have a standout bedroom that will be the envy of all their friends. Add a multi-colored light projector to make it even more magical and create the illusion of outer space.
Eat Like an Astronaut
Ever wondered what an astronaut eats? Wonder no more! With a variety of flavors available, these freeze-dried meals are now available to buy online and will give your child a taste of what life is like for an astronaut. The meals are a once-in-a-lifetime delicacy they won’t forget and ideal for a novel party experience. However, be warned – being dehydrated, they aren’t necessarily the most appetizing of foods so be sure to have star and rocket cupcakes on hand too so your space traveling guests don’t go hungry.
A Star of Their Own
For a totally unique gift, why not dedicate a star to your child? These packages are available online and offer a certificate and often a map so you can search the night sky for the twinkliest present ever. Pair with a telescope and book on astronomy for an educational gift that will make space seem closer than ever and create memories that will last a lifetime.
These gifts will be sure to satisfy the space-loving child in your life and, until space travel becomes a realistic and affordable option, they are as close as you can get to giving the special little one in your life the moon and the stars.
