Next week’s Camp Au Pair theme is Outer Space.
Crafts, recipes, activities, and games related to outer space can all be found here on the Camp Au Pair – Outer Space pinboard.
Here is a fun one that combines a science lesson, art, and snack time.
Field Trips can be a great way for kids to learn and have new experiences. Get permission from your host parents before any outings and be sure to check hours and admission information on the websites before you go. Here are a few places to go, that fit this theme:
Air & Space Museum
Planetarium
Science Center
Webcams – You can do a Google search for websites with webcams that allow you to observe space. Here is one from the International Space Station to get you started.
Online Games – NASA has a gallery of free space games for kids.
Videos – Look for fun videos on YouTube about outer space. Here are a few to get you started.
The Magic School Bus is a television series that follows Ms. Frizzle and her class as they set off on field trips. Most episodes can be found on YouTube. Here are some episodes that fit this week’s theme.
The space theme is especially exciting because it encourages curiosity about the universe and inspires kids to ask questions, experiment, and discover new interests. Thanks for sharing these great ideas and bad time simulator which is interesting.

This sounds like such a fun theme! I love how many different resources you’ve included, from crafts to movies. My kids would especially enjoy the Magic School Bus suggestions. What a great way to inspire a future astronaut or even a Snow rider on the moon!
