Birthday party ideas: Space

Have a launching contest with foam rockets.

Kids can recreate the wonders of space with these glow-in-the-dark stars to stick on bedroom ceilings.

Cut out colourful spaceships, planets and aliens, and glue to a bright background.

Make sugar cookies in the shape of rocket ships using a cookie cutter. Decorate with red, blue or white royal icing and candies like gumdrops and silver balls. Make sure there is one cookie for each guest at the party! You could even leave them plain and have the little astronauts decorate them themselves.
