best books about space for kids

February 20, 2015

I am so excited to gather our favorite books about space for kids! Currently, all we can talk about is space.  My husband is always sharing photos and videos from NASA with the children, and talking my ear off about the amazement of the universe.  It is truly amazing how much children can learn when they are interested!

We absolutely love space around here.  In fact, just last week, at a play date, my friend presented the Big Book of and everything stopped.  The kids all rushed over to the small coffee table and gathered around to feel and turn the pages.  My son, and another sweet, sweet boy, explained “this is the Solar System” or “this is the Sun!” “no that’s Mars!”

All of these space books for kids teach children about astronomy and our amazingly vast universe.  Children learn through lifting the flaps, peaking at the secrets behind the pages, and expanding the pages, collecting and utilizing learning with stickers.  All of these books are from the amazing Usborne Books.

    This is great. My son is really into space right now, so I’ll have to check these out. One of his favorite games to play lately is to sit himself into the pantry closet and “fly in his spaceship to the moon” – so fun.
