Flintobox review : Space Explorer theme

For the month of may I received  the Space Explorer theme from Flintobox.

The content of the box were:

• craft - Mission Moon
• Book - Fire in the sky 
• Conceptual - Constellation
• skills  - Solar System
• skills  - Race to the moon

First we started with Race to the moon game. Its a game similar in concept to snakes and ladder but its well designed to teach basic maths to kids, like go back two steps or jump forward 1 step. Also throwing the dice and counting dots on it, improves hand and eye coordination skill of kids.

  

Second was Solar system , it was in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. Just putting together the puzzle pieces give kids lot of insight about the solar system. Then it  has some see through tags which you have to put on each planet then ask question related to the planet . The tags have information printed on both sides . 

The craft activity that was included in this box is called Mission Moon. There is a canvas on which the child pastes moon and a rocket shoots to the star. Taking out the shapes from precut pieces improves fine motor skills. The additional activity was making the stars . Though we get the shapes precut but small detailing like sprinkling sparkle on stars kids have to do. Sma was with the mooon you have to sprinkle moon dust over it.

The conceptual activity was observing constellations through torch light. there was also a bunch of pieces using  which the chid can  make his own constellations.
