>>My five year old seems to really enjoy space things; astronoauts and rockets etc. What do you think of a board with a space station (like the International Space Station) with a robotic arm that the kids could use to "repair" space ships? For example, space ships ans U.F.O.s missing shapes or patterns and various of the shapes/patterns floating in space.

Please see the attached image showing a rough version of what I had in 
mind. The UFO, Astronaut, and shapes may float nearby in space. The 
robot arm has two joints and could be used to grasp shapes and move them 
where they should go thus  "repairing" the  ship(s).  Play could be 
similar to "Place the Lands."

What do you think?
