I developed these activities over the many years I have run stop motion animation workshops. Space was always one of my favourite topics to teach when I was a Primary Teacher. 

This animation kit is great for children at home to explore both stop motion and outer space. It can also be used by schools and museums as a fun educational resource for STEAM projects.
