About this Event

Blast off into creativity with our Space Terrarium activity! 🚀

Using coloured sand, stones, plants, and space‑themed decorations like rockets, planets, and tiny astronauts, kids will design a magical terrarium that looks straight out of outer-space.👩‍🚀

As they layer their materials and decide how to arrange their space scene, children will explore imagination, sensory play, and simple design skills. They’ll learn a little about plants and ecosystems while having heaps of fun creating a unique decoration to take home.

This activity is perfect for young space explorers who love crafting, creativity, and all things cosmic. No experience needed—just curiosity and a sense of adventure!
