Space gift ideas for kids

A love of space can lead in lots of directions: building a rocket, asking questions about planets or turning a bedroom into a little solar system. These ten gift ideas combine LEGO projects, books, games and smaller extras, so there is something beyond another spaceship for the toy box. Start with the part of space they enjoy most. A builder might choose an astronaut model, while a curious reader may prefer a book or picture viewer. Save a copy to gather favourites, and check age guidance, batteries and setup requirements before choosing a gift.
