Take a trip into the stratosphere with Smithsonian Exploration Space! With informative text and full-color photographs, young astronomers will learn about the intricate makeup of our solar system as well as distant galaxies and constellations. The 56-page fact book combined with the sticker sheet, space figurines to play with, and the glow-in-the-dark stars make this space experience interactive and engaging.
From the moment I picked up the Exploration Station Solar System box I was enchanted. Not in a sweet or cutesy way but by the amount of material this set presents to the child. While slated for the age 6 to 8 year old, I see where this information and set can also fascinate up through the 12 year age bracket.
As I began to look through the box and seeing the little figures (men and rockets), the glow-in-the-dark stars, and the sheets of stickers, I felt confident these items would make for fun time activities. The solar chart poster is nice. The book is filled with a variety of information that enables the child to peruse, delve into aspects of the solar system, and perhaps whet the appetite for further research.
An educationally sound and entertaining gift.
