My little one is 3 years old, as most folks know proper preschool age. As mentioned we are part time preschooling via Montessori school for 1/2 days 3 days a week. My plan for the rest of of the year is to use a unschooling method. I have preschool activities all around my house for her to choose to play with at her leisure.
One of my favorite learning tools are blocks that are shaped similar to planets and Nerdy Baby Space Book.
What I love about these tools is that that it make the concept of the planets real to her in an age appropriate way. We have placed several themes on her walls, once of which is a space theme, when she first received the space themed blacks, she wanted to discuss the planets and space objects on her wall even more. The blocks are on a shelf that is easily accessible by her, so she goes and get the blocks and the book at will to play with it at will.
We also have a board book about future astronaut, however as she allows her curiosity to lead her down the path of exploration in astronomy we will continue to add resources so she can cultivate this area of her mind.
