Imagine receiving a crate of rare space artifacts and being tasked with building the ultimate museum. With the Build Your Own Space Museum book, young space fans (ages 6–8) can do exactly that! This interactive adventure beautifully combines the magic of a picture book with the hands-on fun of model making.
What's inside the crate:
Five Amazing Pop-Ups to Build: Follow the instructions to assemble stunning, 3D pop-up exhibits, including the Solar System, Saturn and its rings, a Lunar Module, the Mars Perseverance Rover, and the International Space Station.
Interactive STEAM Learning: Discover fascinating facts about everything from inner planets and distant galaxies to space planes and capsules as you figure out where each artifact belongs in the museum.
Beautifully Illustrated: Featuring gorgeous, engaging artwork by Mike Love that brings the wonders of the universe right into your living room.
Perfect for creative kids who love crafting and space, this hands-on package is the ultimate way to learn about the cosmos while building something they can proudly display.
🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"There is a huge difference between reading about a Mars rover and actually seeing a 3D model of one take shape in front of you. When kids get their hands involved in building these pop-up exhibits, the concepts of engineering and space exploration really start to click. It turns learning into an interactive mission, and it's exactly the kind of tactile science activity we love to champion here at the observatory."
