The Storytelling: Adventures in Space Going Home Discovery Bag contains 2 storybooks and related wooden small world props including a space set, aliens and stars. Children will enjoy using the small world pieces to reenact scenes as their caregiver reads the story, this experience develops role play and encourages parent and caregiver bonding.
Extend learning by prompting questions to open up discussions while reading the books; “What do you think happens in space?”, “Do you know the names of any of the planets?”, “How would you feel if you were an astronaut?”, “How do you think this alien is feeling?”. Interactions and conversations between the child and caregiver support critical thinking, emotional awareness and help to develop children’s confidence in conveying their own thoughts and ideas.
Extend creative learning by creating a cardboard box spaceship. Encourage children to decorate the spaceship using paint and glitter and workshop crafting materials such as milk bottle tops and ribbons. Challenge children to draw what they think an alien might look like. Children could draw, decorate and cut out the alien to add to their spaceship masterpiece, developing fine motor coordination and imaginative play.
