This launch pad and space shuttle are sure to spark real conversation with your little boy about science and space exploration and will make an excellent teaching opportunity about the big questions he will have or has about the cosmos.

Imagine...you're little boy is aboard this space shuttle, ready to take off any second! He can press a button for takeoff sounds and blinking lights. He can turn a figure to open the doors, open the solar panels, activate the stairs or rotate the crane (which also attaches to the second floor of the tower to load cargo into the shuttle). And that's just the beginning of the adventures in his Space World, where there's a new adventure at every turn as he decides what happens next!

Shuttle Sound Effects are Out of This World. Three different sound effects on the shuttle make this a truly interactive experience. When your little boy is ready to take the shuttle into space, press the button at the bottom of the shuttle and he can listen as the boosters roar into action. Moments later solar "pings" begin to echo from the shuttle reminiscent of a weightless object orbiting planet earth.

He can fit the space characters on the outside wings or on top of the cockpit, and turn them left and right to activate sound effects, like the opening of the giant shuttle cargo bay or rocket boosters kicking into high hear.

As liftoff approaches, he can fit the figure on the elevator platform and move up to the third level. Another platform lets him open the shuttle's individual cargo doors by turning the figure left and then right.

Interaction is the Name of this Game. Your junior space-racer will enjoy hours of fun fitting the space figures into five different platforms on the shuttle and launch pad and controlling the many different functions.It's the perfect balance of hands-on interaction and sound effects that will take your little boys imagination to new heights.
