D attends a Space class for kids taught by a very creative mom at our co-op. They made this cool project on one of the days. This has various size beads, pom-poms and glass jewel stones to show the relative size of the planets. I think this turned out so cool!
They also went outside and planted sticks on the ground to give the children a sense of how far apart the planets are from the sun. We are fortunate to belong to such a wonderful co-op!

Eye Candy for sure! I have a kindergartner that is about to delve into astronomy. I am definitely going to be using this. Thank you for sharing.
