Space Toys for 4 Year Olds
My 4 year old boy has recently become fascinated by space rockets, planets and aliens. He hasn't got many space toys ..... yet, but he loves to build a space rocket with his lego and play rockets ands aliens with his imagination and other toys. If you know a 4 year old that loves space and likes interacting with rockets, talking about planets and is fascinated with aliens here are some toys I think my son would like and have good reviews too.

Imagintext Space Rockets and Toys
Fisher Price Imaginext toys are a well known brand of toy for this age group which is perfect to stimulate the imagination of 4 year olds and facilitate imaginative play. I love Fisher Price toys. There toys are always well designed and built, sturdy and durable.
Their Imaginext space shuttle has various lots to do for imaginative play. Press buttons to hear lots of cool sounds and phrases. |
A cool feature I like is that you can fire 'laser' projectiles from the space shuttle or the movable launcher with the push of a button.
You can lift the space shuttle of its base to senrd in into orbit. There's loads for imaginative play too, like a little figure that fits inside the space shutttle.

Space Jigsaw Puzzles
Space Jigsaw PuzzlesSpace jigsaw puzzles can be a great way to introduce talking about planets, the Sun, the solar system and rockets.
A good sized puzzle for a 4 year old is normally around 24 to 48 pieces. The Melissa & Doug puzzles is 48 pieces and features a space rocket and different planets to discuss. Melissa and Doug puzzles are great quality. The pieces are thick and sturdy so should last well. |
Be An Astronaut - Dress Up
My 4 year old loves dressing up in all kinds of costumes from doctors to superheros. But if they love space you and dressing up you can't go wrong with an astronaut costume.
It's machine washable which is great. It has all the accessories an astronaut could need including shiny helmet, stretchy silver gloves, and reusable nametag. The size is for 3 to 6 year olds so perfect for a space mad 4 year old. |
Space Books
Space BooksThere are a great selection of books about space, aliens and rockets which make great gifts for space loving 4 year olds.
Here is just one option. It's all about Dad's book were he writes about his mission to go off and look for aliens in space. The book is full of great illustrations too. Lots of rhyming and a twist at the end. |
