Lego Space Shuttle Set for Young Kids Ages 5-12
Great Educational Starter Lego Set
LEGO Space Shuttle 3367
Amazon Price: $23.99 (as of 06/03/2012)
This toy Space Shuttle is fun to build and play with. It's great for learning about the NASA space program and for imaginative play.
It comes with an astronaut in a spacesuit. The cargo bay doors open, so kids can have fun playing space shuttle launch. This set also has a toy hubble space telescope along with the Canadian robot arm (part of the Dextre robot, I believe) that connects to the telescope to work on it.
With over 200 lego pieces, this is a fun set for kids in primary, elementary, and middle school.
New Lego Set for 2011: Satellite Launch Pad Legos
Learn about Satellites with this toy! Ages 5-12
LEGO Satellite Launch Pad 3366
Amazon Price: $14.00 (as of 06/03/2012)
Communication Satellites are used for telephone, TV, internet, and military communications. This really cool toy is great for learning about satellites and how they are launched. It includes a technician figure, a truck, a satellite, and the launch pad and rocket.
It has everything you need for creative play! With only 165 pieces, this is ideal for young kids and would work great as part of a homeschool science program.
Best Lego NASA Kit: Lego Creator Shuttle Adventure
This one is for older kids and adults - serious lego lovers!
Lego Creator Shuttle Adventure (10213)
Amazon Price: $132.98 (as of 06/03/2012)
This is one of those amazing toys that would have been on my wish list as a kid. This shuttle stands out from other NASA lego kits as being aimed at older kids and featuring realistic engines, retractable landing gear, an opening cockpit with seats for two astronauts, and an opening cargo compartment with a removable satellite and crane!!
It is fairly big, measuring about 17" tall and 10" wide. It contains over a thousand legos.
Although it says ages 16+, this might be one of those times you could break the rules and really delight a 12 or 14 year old child, especially if you don't mind helping them build it!
I know that when I was a kid, I always wanted science kits that were meant for older kids!
Moon Landing Lego Set with the Apollo Lunar Lander
Intermediate Set for Ages 8+
LEGO Discovery Kids 10029 Lunar Lander
Amazon Price: $461.71 (as of 06/03/2012)
This set includes the Apollo Lunar Lander, two Apollo Astronauts, and a small U.S. flag for placing on the Moon.
Use this set to learn about the first Apollo 11 Moon Landing on July 20, 1969, and the subsequent visits to the Moon during the NASA Apollo space program.
This NASA lego set has over 400 pieces!
Lego Discovery Kids Set: International Space Station with Space Shuttle Atlantis
For Young Kids & Collectors, Ages 7+, with 162 pieces
LEGO Discovery: International Space Station
Amazon Price: $99.99 (as of 06/03/2012)
This International Space Station lego set is really cool. The solar panels move and it's an educational and fun toy for young kids. It's also probably my favorite NASA Lego toy as an adult... I mean, the ISS is just an amazing accomplishment, and to think about it orbiting the earth, and about the international involvement.... It amazes me.
Here's an excerpt from the best Amazon review:
"My 12 year old astronaut cadet had it built in an hour. Within the next hour it had been rebuilt as the Antares, Pegasus, ISS 2 you name it. The solar panels are very useful for working other spaceships. He wants a second one to build a super space station. "
LEGO Space Center 3368
New NASA Lego Set for 2011 - Pre-Order Today!
LEGO Space Center 3368
Amazon Price: $49.99 (as of 06/03/2012)
It's always good to buy the lego sets when they first come out, because once they get discontinued, the prices always go up. There are collectors who will pay the premium prices for a hard-to-find set, but if you buy them when they are new, you'll get more reasonable prices.
This Lego City Space Explorers Set is great for imaginative play.
Product Description: Prepare the rocket for blast-off! Fill the rocket with fuel, use the elevator to get the astronaut to the top of the launch platform and prepare for launch from the control center. Start the count down and get ready for another exciting mission into space!
Quick Poll Question
I'd love to have your opinion!
Mars Rover Lego Set - Explore the surface of Mars - Look for Signs of Water & Life!
For Ages 10+, Great for Pre-Teen, Teenagers, and Adults
Lego Mars Exploration Rover (7471)
Amazon Price: $189.85 (as of 06/03/2012)
This Rover Lego Set has parts that can be manipulated, which makes it a fun toy to build and play with! Learn how to use the Solar Panels, the Camera Boom, the Antenna, and the Drilling Probe!
While this isn't a perfect model Rover, it is a great Lego set! It has 800+ lego pieces.
Lego Set from the NASA Saturn V Moon Mission
Easy Lego Set, but now it's a collectible
LEGO Discovery: Saturn V Moon Mission
Amazon Price: $249.90 (as of 06/03/2012)
This lego set has everything needed for recreating the Saturn V Moon Mission. It has the rocket, command service module, lunar module and lunar rover.
This is a great Saturn V space program collectible, but the price is high if you're interested in just buying it for kids to play with. You might want to try one of the new 2011 sets which are much more affordable. It's not Saturn V, but it's still great NASA fun!
Great NASA Lego Accessory: The Lego Moon Buggy!
New 2011 Lego Toy
LEGO Space Moon Buggy 3365
Amazon Price: $2.22 (as of 06/03/2012)
This goes great with the Apollo Lunar Lander!
