To make the sensory bin I made some moon dough out of plain flour, vegetable oil and black food coloring. For the moon base, you can set up a sensory bin or a research lab. I love setting up both a Moon Base and a Mars Base. Space Dramatic Play – Moon Base & Mars Base I recommend searching “cardboard rocket” on Google or Pinterest to see the types of rockets other people have made. We used mostly spray paint and some acrylic paint. Once you’ve secured the rocket roof to the box, you can start cutting out the door, windows and adding some wings. You may need to cut the box and tape the triangles together. Next, turn the large box upside down and attach a square pyramid as the roof. How to Make a Rocket – Start by tracking down a large rectangular cardboard box and a slightly smaller box. Next, plan the props you’d like to add to your area such as a rocket. Preparation – Begin by printing and laminating the resources that best suit your needs. These include a Mission Control Center, Moon Base, Mars Base and Research Lab. The overall theme is a “Space Station”, but I’ve included a variety of sub centers you can set up too. I absolutely LOVED creating this Space Station dramatic play center! It was so much fun and I recruited my space expert hubby to help me with the finer details like the awesome rocket and control panel. It’s suitable for kids in Pre-K, Preschool and Kindergarten, although I’m sure older children will love it too! This Space Station dramatic play center helps kids learn about space and engage in pretend play.
