A is for Astronaut: Gross Motor Activities

Jun 11th, 2009 | By | Category: Preschool Activities

To get every child excited about space and astronauts, try some of these activities.

Create an astronaut dress up area.  Include helmets made out of milk jugs or 5 gallon ice cream buckets and foil, moon boots or sponges and rubber bands to strap on feet, backpacks, and 2 liter bottles stuck together with straps attached for air packs.

Make a space shuttle for dramatic play with large washing machine/oven/refrigerator boxes spray painted white on the outside or draped with white sheets.  Cut stars out of the top for light.  Put an old keyboard inside for the controls, an old cell phone, etc…

Teach the children how to play with frisbies as flying saucers.
