Astronaut Toys for Boys

My boys all went through a stage as they was younger that they was fascinated about becoming an Astronaut and just loved playing with rocket ships and space shuttles. My biggest problem when finding a toy rocket ship is that some had so many small parts and others was hard to play with. My boys wanted to play with Astronaut figurines in and out of the shuttle not just around the space shuttle or space shuttle.

Besides buying a few Astronaut toys I also let them use their imagination and use things around the house to make their own Astronaut and space rocket toys. Their favorite was building a rocket ship out of cardboard.

This toy spaceship is just right for small hands and big enough for older space explorers as well. The open sides make this space shuttle easy for kids to play with the Astronaut toys in and out of the space shuttle.

Legos are great for building hand eye coordination and imaginative thinking. Plus most boys love legos just as much as they love thinking about flying to space in a Rocket Ship.

Some of the Lego space kits are huge and take a lot of energy and time to put together. Some of the smaller kits of space vehicles and smaller rockets are easier for beginners. Or you could just get a big Lego Space Ship Kit and do it as a family.

My son was not much of a reader until we sparked his interest in reading about things he loves such as Astronauts.

To start we avoided buying books, it worked best to search with him on the internet to find information about NASA and other well known Astronauts.

We found that NASA.gov was very helpful and had a lot of things for kids to do on their website.

It was also interesting for a child to learn about Animal Astronauts.
