Space Gifts for Kids: Fun and Educational Ideas for the Holidays

• http://www.space.com-Miriam Kramer

From a Lego spaceship to engineering toys, little astronomers everywhere are bound to find something perfect for them on Space.com's gift guide this holiday season.

Celebrate this year's historic landing of a Europe's Philae spacecraft on a comet with this incredibly cute Celestial Buddies Comet ($30.99 on Amazon). The plushy comet has a happy little surprised look on its face as it makes its way around a little one's imaginary solar system.

Why we love it: Celestial Buddies makes a series of wonderful little stuffed cosmic objects including the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter (with the Great Red Spot for a nose!) and Saturn that are as adorable as they are cuddly. They're a great way to introduce objects in space to tiny explorers.
