Space Set

This is a simplified copy of my classroom Space Set.  I didn't use the collage method on this, as I think it would tempt children to pull the pieces apart, and I also find that the collaged pieces don't stick as easily since I use stiff felt for those and they are a bit heavy.  My set is quit a bit larger--I might add a few more pieces to this one, too.

Anyway, this is a set I'll be selling at our upcoming Vendor Fair at my school along with some other sets! I think having sets like this on hand so children can do their own, completely open-ended storytelling would be wonderful in the classroom or library setting.  You could of course use a set that corresponds with your storytime theme, but having random sets available allows the child to lead, which is always a benefit in my opinion.
