outer space

[HappyLady]

My DD has expressed an interest in learning about outer space. Can anyone recommend any websites or books (or anything else) that would be good for a pre-k/K level? Thanks!

I'm not sure how much it will help. But I have a whole bunch of moon & space activities in my GoodNight Moon folder.

We have (and like):

Usborne Beginners "The Solar System"

Usborne Beginners "Sun, Moon and Stars"

Usborne Beginners "Living in Space"

Usborne "See Inside Space" (lift the flap book)

DK Night Sky Atlas (geared for older readers but interesting constellation pictures and sky charts)

 

We have on order:

One Small Square: The Night Sky

I've pinned a few moon activities here http://pinterest.com...ther-astronomy/

 

The Magic Tree House Research Guide Space is good. We also have a Moon in my Room on the wall. It's a fun night light for little kids if nothing else. :)
