Space is one of our children’s favourite things and I’m sure they’re not alone. Space is something so many children love and so we often look for space themed gifts when buying for our children or their friends for Christmas, birthdays or any other occasion through the year. It’s often hard to think of gifts that aren’t just the typical mainstream toys so I thought it might be nice to put together a few ideas to help you find the perfect space gifts for the children in your life.

A Projector

There’s nothing our children love more than a space light show as they’re falling to sleep. We have had so many projectors, projector torches and other astronomy toys over the years and the children always love them as they make fantastic night lights. There’s something so magical about seeing the whole solar system lit up on your bedroom wall at night.

A Jigsaw

We love jigsaws and there’s always a size perfect for any child’s age. From 3D solar system puzzles to images of space or rockets and even educational puzzles. There are options that all children will love – and if you get a big 500 piece or 1000 puzzle it may give older children a nice challenge too! If you’re buying for little ones, you can get fantastic chunky wooden puzzles too.

Ceiling Stars

Glow in the dark ceiling stars are a great, affordable gift that any child will love. They create a lovely night sky effect on a child’s ceiling, something beautiful to focus on as they fall asleep.

Models

Models of space are a great gift. Whether it’s a model solar system to decorate a nursery with or a model rocket to sit on a teenager’s bedroom side, they make a great gift for any age and they’re something really nice to collect too.

Wall Art

As well as models, wall art can make great gifts. From space wall stickers to pictures, posters or canvases, they’re a great addition to any child’s bedroom and artwork always makes an especially good space gifts for teenagers when they’re not as bothered by toys anymore.

Craft Kits

Craft kits are great fun and give children something to keep and treasure afterwards plus, from experience, each kit includes everything a child needs to make an amazing creation. From making their own solar system to creating their own bouncy balls that look like planets, there’s something that every space fan will love.

Science Kits

Just like craft kits, science kits include everything children need to do all sorts of experiments and there are some fantastic space ones available. From making a rocket launch or recreating solar powered space exploration vehicles to meteor dig kits and robot kits, science sets are some of our favourite educational toys and they make fantastic gifts.

Books

Space books are a timeless gifts that children can read and enjoy for years to come. Whether it’s a book of space facts, a story book, a puzzle activity book or a space sticker book, space themed books are a great gift for anyone who loves all things space.

Clothes can make great kids space gifts and are super practical too. Parents will always appreciate you buying their children gorgeous new clothes.

Bath Bombs

It may seem a little bit random but there are so many great space themed bath bombs available and I know most kids love nothing more than seeing their bath water change colour, get filled with glitter or have a surprise waiting for them at the bottom!

Something From Space

Any child would love something that has come straight from space. Whether it’s a piece of moon rock or a pouch of astronaut food. Anything that makes them feel a little bit closer to space would make a great gift.

A Day Out

A day out is always a great gift where children can make memories rather than having something material to unwrap. The National Space Centre, The Royal Observatory, Winchester Science Centre and the Science Museum are all fantastic days out for space fans.

The best presents for kids who love space would be telescopes. They can explore the whole of outer space from the comfort of their home or garden. With telescopes at so many different price points, they make a great gift for any child or an investment for the whole family to enjoy together.

If children love looking at the stars and learning more about them then there are so many astronomy gifts for kids – from naming a star after them to star maps and apps to learn which constellation is which.
