Your little one will love exploring space during Space Preschool sessions at
the Saint Louis Science Center. They will build a paper rocket, create their own constellation tale, and make a moonscape as they learn about space flight, stars and our moon.
In this fun, hands-on class, preschoolers will play with shadows and learn about space through age-appropriate activities. Children must be at least 3 years old to participate.
Space is limited and reservations are required. Cost is $10 per child for three sessions; $8 per child for members.
10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at the Saint Louis Science Center. For reservations, call 314-289-4424. One adult per four children required.
