Have Fun Teaching Kids about the Solar System

One of my daughter’s consistent loves through most of her life has been space. She’s really interested in the stars and planets, has a telescope, watches Ready, Jet, Go. We talk about space a lot, and it’s a subject that a lot of kids enjoy.

If you’d like to delve into space a little more with your kids, here are some great resources.

Life Over Cs has a whole space unit study, where she’s collected fun printables and ideas for literacy, math, sensory play and more.

3 Boys and a Dog has more links to educational resources about space, including online activities from NASA, the Exploratorium, the Lunar and Planetary Institute and more. I love the Exploratorium’s solar system model; just tell it the size of your sun and it tells you how big to make the planets and the distances between them.

And Research Parent has these great three-part solar system and universe cards, where kids can match facts about the planet or feature (like black hole and Oort Cloud) to a picture of the same thing.

These learning activities would be so fun to include in your own “space camp” during the summer or to have on hand for an interested kid to work with whenever.

If you have a K-pop fan in the house, this is one of those books that feels like an easy gift win.

The Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook: Girl Group Edition is packed with puzzles, games, fan trivia and plenty of stickers, with groups including BLACKPINK, TWICE, LE SSERAFIM and HUNTR/X from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s definitely more fun activity book than serious K-pop encyclopedia, which I actually think is part of the appeal. There are mazes, crosswords, bias-themed games and little references for fans to spot, plus 16 sticker sheets for decorating journals, photo books and anything else that happens to be within reach.

If your K-pop obsession started with K-Pop Demon Hunters, we’ve already got a few more ideas worth checking out, including our free K-Pop Demon Hunters coloring pages and digital images and these K-Pop Demon Hunters learning activities and printables.

And yes, K-pop has even made its way into the craft room with these K-Pop Demon Hunters cross stitch patterns.

I think this fanbook would make a cute birthday present, Christmas stocking filler or addition to a K-pop themed gift basket. Add some gel pens, a journal or photo-card binder and you’ve got a gift that feels a bit more thoughtful than simply grabbing another piece of merchandise.

The book is due for release on October 6, 2026, and based on the preview, it looks like a fun little pick for younger K-pop fans, tweens, teens and sticker-loving grown-ups who are absolutely not admitting how many sticker sheets they already own.
