Tonight, we are going to build a Space Station.

With all this gloomy Bay Area weather, I was pleasantly surprised today when a package arrived for me at work! I had no recollection of making any recent online purchases, but was pleasantly surprised when I found the tools and instructions (as well as the nuts and bolts!) neccessary to build a Space Station!

...I'm not joking. Ever heard of Sandvik Innovations? Ya, neither had I until I came across them on one of my Mommy Deal websites.

They make all sorts of interesting educational products, but this one is JUST RIGHT for a 4 year old boy:

 This Book Includes:

• A plastic Wrench
• Plastic Nuts and Bolts
• A story book made entirely out of cardboard Space Station pieces!

You read this rhyming story and by the time you're done, are all ready and set to build a Space Station. So that is what we will be doing tonight.

(There are 4 different versions: a pirate ship, The House that Jack Built, the space station and a castle)

If you order it on their website, they have a great snail mail option that is REALLY cheap (but can take upto 25 business days, hence I forgot the order).

For cheaper versions:
