Intergalactic Space Fun Ideas

April 6, 2026
Share

Planning a themed day of Space Exploration doesn't need to be hard. 

Clear out a designated area that kids can use for more than just an afternoon if possible and also in a spot that is communal so that you can keep interacting with them

Build a  Cardboard Space Rocket

Photo from The Bear & The Fox

You will need:

  • An big cardboard box (ideally something your child can climb into)
  • Tape
  • Recycle lids 
  • Paper & Craft supplies

Build your spaceship with what you have it does not even need to look like a space rocket just a square box is fun enough! you can choose to make it face up or laying flat.

Glue on the recycle lids to make a control panel

Craft some aliens & monsters

Now that your transport is sorted - have some fun creating things you might find along your journey! 

The great thing about Aliens is that they don't need to look a certain way it is perfectly acceptable to have one eye !

Supplies

Recycling or old teddies - kitchen towel rolls are great too!

Googly Eyes

Pom Poms

Play some games

Make Some Space Food

 

Use some simple fondant shapes or lollies to create some out of this world cupcakes to eat on your adventures
