Stories for children about space
Children about space.
Getting to know the solar system It’s better to start getting acquainted with the Sun. It is the most important star in our solar system; the life of our planet depends on it. It is difficult for a child to imagine the size of the Sun, stars, solar system, planets and the Earth too. Try to explain everything complex in simple terms, using available tools. Take a flashlight or lamp - this is the sun, and a large ball is the Earth, a slightly smaller ball is the Moon. If you have a globe, great, it makes the task easier! Together with your child, you can conduct an experiment with a globe or with improvised objects, considering the issues of the change of day and night, why we sometimes see the moon full, and sometimes only a crescent. Tell us that we only see the illuminated side of the Moon, and the other side is in shadow. Talk about the size of space objects. Why do we see stars small? Demonstrate on any object how it decreases as it moves away from us, it is convenient to do this on the street, take the same ball with you and use it as a star or planet. For this reason, we see stars as small dots, but they are huge, they are just very far from us! Explain that stars emit light and planets reflect. To do this, it is convenient to use phosphorescent objects, stickers or reflective tape. A royal gift for a child would, of course, be a telescope. They come in different sizes and are sold at different prices. The child will be delighted! This will bring him closer to the stars!
You can compare the sizes of the Sun and the Earth using a pumpkin and a pea. If our Earth is a pea, then the Sun is a pumpkin. Try to explain everything using specific, simple examples without vagueness.
Try to answer all the questions your child may have. If you don’t know something, don’t brush it off, don’t evade the answer! It’s better to look for the answer in an encyclopedia or on the Internet together with your child. Your authority will definitely not suffer, but on the contrary, you will show that it is normal not to know something; it is bad not to strive to know more.
Children about space. Stories about space in games
Here are thematic cards that will not only help your child learn about space, stars, planets, but also develop memory, attention, fine motor skills, logical thinking and many other important qualities and skills. Cards are intended for children 2-8 years old
How do we play?
For kids, you can simply show pictures with planets, listing them from the name, then offer to choose planets from two or three options.
If you print two copies of the cards. One of them needs to be cut and the other left whole. Invite your little one to arrange the cut pictures on
the same ones, located on the same sheet, while saying the names of the planets so that the baby repeats and remembers. And if you cut both sets of pictures, you can turn them over and find the same ones.
These cards can be used to compose a story about the planets of the solar system, cosmic bodies, and astronauts. This activity perfectly develops speech, imagination, thinking, and logic. And you can play with these cards the same way as with the previous ones.
And these cards will help in developing attentiveness and observation. In each line you need to find the odd one out.
The following cards are perfect for developing logic. It is necessary to extend the logical series.
A game that helps develop fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements and will help prepare the hand for writing. It is necessary to help the rockets reach the planets and connect them along the dotted line.
A small space puzzle. The picture needs to be cut into several parts. For older children, there may be more parts. Invite your child to put together a picture!
We connect identical planets and develop attention.
Learning to work with scissors. You need to cut along the dotted line.
We sort planets and flying ships.
Now let's sort the planets by size. Separately small, medium and large.
Now let's color our planet! Very creative task!
These are thematic games that will help teach children about space.

Poems about space for children
We walk around the globe, raising our fingers together. We jumped over a forest, climbed a mountain, found ourselves in the ocean - We went swimming together. We went to Antarctica, it was cold, we were frozen. We all boarded the rocket and flew off into space (raise the handle up).
Let's recite a poem about the planets:
In order, all the planets can be named by any of us: One - Mercury, Two - Venus, Three - Earth, Four - Mars. Five is Jupiter, Six is Saturn, Seven is Uranus, followed by Neptune. He is the eighth in a row. And behind it, then, is the ninth planet called Pluto.
It's so cool in space!
It's so cool in space! Stars and planets In black weightlessness Float slowly! It's so cool in space! Sharp rockets at great speed, rushing here and there! It's so wonderful in space! It's so magical in space! Been to real space once! In real space! In the one that saw through, In the one that saw through a paper telescope! O. Akhmetova
Space
The blue sky has opened a yellow-orange eye. The sun, the luminary of the day, looks at us affectionately. The planet is spinning smoothly in the unsteady flickering of lights. Somewhere in space, a comet is following it. Mercury is breaking out of orbit and wants to hug Venus. These magnetic storms can raise Mercury. Distant stars are blinking, signaling something to the Earth. Black holes gape as an eternal mystery in the darkness. Brothers in mind. Where are you? Where are you waiting for us? Maybe in the constellation Virgo, Maybe in the constellation Pegasus? N. Tsvetkova
The Earth is a grain of sand in the Ocean Among countless worlds. And we are not only earthlings, If we hear the interplanetary call. And if you managed to spread your wings for flight and take off - There is no more perfect starship to overcome the earth's magnet. Numen
In order, all the planets can be named by any of us: One - Mercury, Two - Venus, Three - Earth, Four - Mars. Five is Jupiter, Six is Saturn, Seven is Uranus, followed by Neptune. He is the eighth in a row. And behind it, then, is the ninth planet called Pluto. A. Hight
To Venus
Hiding your face behind a snow-white burqa, following the sun with the Beautiful Lady in your retinue, you again and again make your way along the circular orbit set by the Almighty... You have been attracting the eye for a long time, being the standard of Beauty! And the diamond patterns of the stars fade when you sparkle from the heavenly heights.
V. Asterov The astronauts have a holiday!
A special day has come to us - It’s a holiday for the astronauts! The quiet and prankster knows this well! And everyone keeps repeating, who is not too lazy, Always the same thing: Since I was born on this day, I must become an astronaut! No, I don’t want to be an astronaut. More like an astronomer. I will study all the planets without leaving home. But maybe still a doctor? - There will be no problems in the family, I will always lend my shoulder to my family and friends. And all boys dream of becoming a traveler - To discover countries, lands, To write books about it. It’s the astronauts’ anniversary And I’m ten today... And what’s dear to my soul, There’s still time to weigh! N. Rodvilina
My star
It was getting dark, and in the dark sky a star lit up. I see the entire Milky Way, as if in the palm of my hand, I dream of clinging to that star. Now, if the lunar path shortened our long journey, I would calm down a little, that I would meet her someday. And reflected in the moonlight, She burns in my window, As if agreeing with me, Laughing, winking at me. I.Schastneva
Saturn
Each planet has something of its own, which most clearly distinguishes it. You will certainly recognize Saturn by sight - It is surrounded by a large ring. It is not continuous, it is made up of different stripes. Here's how scientists solved the question: Once upon a time, water froze there, And Saturn's rings were made of snow and ice. R. Aldonina
Young cosmonaut
As a child, many dreamed of flying into starry space. To view our land from this starry distance. See its open spaces, Rivers, mountains and fields, Look at smart devices, Prove that I don’t live in vain. Fly along the starry rabble, Explore the forests and seas. Did Copernicus lie to us that the earth rotates? The astronauts are flying and coming back. Everyone gets a “hero”, They walk around shining like stars. Well, I don’t understand why I’m not a hero. Just like they fly, I, after all, am a fighting guy. All year round, in spring, in winter, I fly in space. And my spaceship is called EARTH! V. Kryakin
Lunokhod
The lunar spacecraft landed on the moon. In the lunar spacecraft there is a lunar rover. Circuses, craters and holes are not scary for the Lunokhod. He leaves drawings on the surface of the moon. There is a lot of dust, there is no wind. Drawings can live for a thousand years! Valentin Berestov

"A fabulous journey to Mars." A fairy tale dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the first manned space flight
«Journey to Mars»
( a space fairy tale about a brave boy Pete)
Hondava Ekaterina 7 years old
Krasnodar region; Caucasus region; Kropotkin
Head: Dikaya O.V.
In our present time, the time of lunar rovers, satellites, large silver rockets, we have something to tell our children . All you have to do is figure out how to do it a little?
The topic of space remains a mystery even for adults. Given the characteristics of childhood, it is very important to make the story interesting and simple. fairy tale always comes to our aid , and fairy tale magic helps us get to and explore every corner of our vast Universe, visit the most unexplored and distant planet and, of course, make new friends who will tell us about the features, amazing space adventures , of their beautiful, unexplored country .
“Swallow” preparatory school group
I firmly decided to fly to
“
Mars ” and find out what has been troubling all
of humanity for a long time - “Is there life on
Mars ?” She composed
a fairy tale about the little cosmonaut Petya , who was the very first of all Earthlings to get to this amazing planet...
" Journey to Mars "
Lived well, an ordinary, earthly boy, Petya. He was just about to go to first grade and so he had to study hard and hard. He learned to read, write, played sports, but most of all he loved to draw, because when you draw, you can dream! And Petya dreamed of becoming an astronaut ! He knew very well that this profession does not tolerate losers and lazy people, and therefore he tried very hard. One day Petya was sitting at his desk and drawing. In the picture, the lights of distant stars shone and outer space. Of course, Petya himself was looking out of the round porthole, waving his hand like Yuri Gagarin and shouting “Let’s go!”
.
Suddenly the boy’s drawing came to life and the rocket made a circle and flew back straight towards the surprised Petya. He saw that a little lilac fairy was sitting in the painted porthole. She smiled at the speechless Petya and asked him:
Moon
The moon that shines in the sky at night is a satellite of our planet. By cosmic standards, it is very close to us, just 3 days away on a rocket. The Moon rotates around the Earth counterclockwise.
We see it only at night, since during the day the Sun eclipses it with its light, and it is always of a different shape, or rather visible to us. Each form has its own phase: new moon, crescent of the waxing moon, first quarter of the waxing moon, waxing moon, full moon and then decreasing: waning moon, quarter of the waning moon, crescent of the waning moon, new moon again.
Quasars
A quasar is a cosmic object that releases a huge amount of energy. They are the brightest and most distant “residents” of the Universe from us.
Space is an endless space with millions of different galaxies, planets and stars that have not been fully studied by scientists. Scientists who study space are called astronomers. Previously, people did not really know anything about space, but gradually they studied it and made discoveries.
The famous astronomer and scientist Nicolaus Copernicus proved that our Earth and other planets move around the sun. Another scientist, Isaac Newton, determined why the planets move around the sun and do not fall. Step by step, people all over the world are becoming familiar with the secrets of space, which will last for many centuries.
Asteroids
An asteroid is a rocky celestial body that has an irregular shape and varies in size: from a grain of sand to many kilometers of boulders. Due to the complete absence of gravity, asteroids cannot acquire a spherical shape, and therefore more closely resemble shapeless stones.
Asteroids are composed of iron, nickel, cobalt, oxygen, titanium, hydrogen and other elements. Asteroids can have craters and even satellites. And between Mars and Jupiter a whole asteroid belt formed. It’s very interesting about him and more, Smeshariki says:
Planet Earth
The only planet on which there is life at the moment is our Earth. The main difference between the Earth and other planets is the presence of water - the source of life and the atmosphere, thanks to which the Earth has the air that we breathe.
We learned a lot of fascinating things about planet Earth thanks to the adventures of Chevostik in his time. There are also visual experiences and experiments. For more details, read the article “Planet Earth. Travels with Chevostik."
Galaxies
Galaxies are clusters of groups of stars united by vast distances. Our galaxy, which includes the entire solar system and beyond, is called the Milky Way. Galaxies can be of different shapes: spiral, elliptical, irregular. For example, the most famous galaxies, the Andromeda Nebula and the Milky Way, have a spiral shape.
Galaxies can collide with each other, pass through one another and merge into a new larger galaxy.
Sun
The sun is also a star, only very hot and very large. Around it, as we found out, other planets, including the Earth, are circling. We feel the warmth of the sun and see it so well because it is very close to the Earth.
Thanks to the Sun, seasons change on planet Earth. We know what hot and cold are
Space is limitless. Our entire endless solar system is just a particle in the Universe. In it and throughout space there are also such space objects as:
Stars
Stars are hot balls of gas of different sizes, consisting of hydrogen molecules. They only seem so small to us, because they are at a very far distance from us.
Clusters of stars form constellations. They were given names by our ancestors, who mentally connected the stars with each other and saw certain figures in them. Instruments for studying – telescopes – help us see them closer.
You can learn about what stars and constellations are, what they are like, what they have in common with humans and what their character is by watching this short video:
Meteorites
Meteorites are pieces of celestial bodies, usually made of stone and iron, that fell to our Earth. They are of great value for science. After all, this is literally a piece of space. Scientists from all countries are trying to study these bodies as fully as possible.
Meteorites come in different sizes: from small stones to large boulders. The places where they fell can turn into craters.
Sometimes entire meteor showers occur - the fall of hundreds and thousands of meteorites in a limited sector of the sky. The largest meteorite ever discovered on earth, weighing 100,000 tons, is currently located in West Africa's Aidar Desert. Most often, only very small meteorites, whose weight ranges from several grams to kilograms, reach the surface of our planet, protected by a reliable shield of the atmosphere.
