Blast off into math learning with this fun and creative space activity! In this engaging color-by-code task, children practise numbers 0–20, addition, and subtraction while creating a foldable space craft. As they solve the problems and colour the sections, a hidden space picture appears inside a planet that opens and closes.

A perfect combination of math practice and hands-on crafting that keeps students motivated and curious.

This is what you get (6 designs with increasing difficulty):
