Blast off into learning with Tot Talk’s Space Explorer Educational Placemat.

On the front, kids can journey through the history of space discovery—starting with Sputnik 1, the world’s first artificial Earth satellite launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. Follow an exciting timeline of major inventions, missions, and milestones that shaped humanity’s exploration of space.

Flip it over to discover the 10 most iconic rockets, learn which countries they came from, and uncover fascinating spaceship and astronaut fun facts! Then, color in the rockets with washable or dry erase markers, wipe clean, and do it all over again for endless out-of-this-world fun.

Recommended age range: 6 - 9 years old

The developmental age ranges of children learning about space history and exploration:

• Ages 4–6 (Preschool–Kindergarten): Kids can enjoy the wonder of space — learning about astronauts, rockets blasting off, the Moon, and planets. They love visuals, stories, and pretend play (“I’m an astronaut!”)
  
• Ages 6–9 (Early Elementary): This is the best age range to introduce space history and exploration — such as the launch of Sputnik 1, the Moon landing, and famous rockets or missions. Kids can follow simple timelines and understand how exploration has progressed over time
  
• Ages 9–12 (Upper Elementary–Middle School): Older learners can dive deeper into how rockets work, international space programs, and scientific discoveries from missions
