We found stars hidden in our apples and pears at snack.

Astronauts and rockets inspired our block play.
Natan: This is the engine that makes it go.
Ari: I am driving the space shuttle.
Ari: I am making a rocket ship, I need a triangle on top.
"Climb aboard the Space shuttle, we are going to the Moon.
Hurry, hurry and get ready, we are going to blast of soon.
Put on your helmet and buckle up real tight,
Here comes the countdown, let's count with all our might:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Blast off!"
