Sensory, Space and Rocket Launches

We've had the best time blasting off to space with Mother Goose Time this month. The kids have been so excited everyday to see where this adventure will take us. Yesterday we watched video of the Delta IV | Global Positioning System (GPS) IIF-9 rocket launch from the Kennedy Space Center. 

My friend, Stacy was there with her family and she is allowing me to share some of her awesome pictures. 

                         How cool! The kids didn't realize you could actually go see Space Rockets. 
 

We transformed pictures of ourselves into our very own Astronaut puppets.

We've been pretending to be astronauts all week. We've been using our imaginations to transform into astronauts returning from an outer-space adventure.   

In conjunction with our Space theme we created an outer-space themed Sensory tub. 

We gathered our supplies:

Kinetic Sand  or you can make your own  for a fraction of the cost Make your own Kinetic Sand
Safari LTD Space TOOB
University Games 3D Planets
Rocks
Balls of tin foil

We've shoveled, raked, explored with magnifying glasses... This Sensory tub was a huge hit!
