The fascination with what lies beyond our blue sky remains strong as a recent global survey conducted by the LEGO Group reveals that 86% of kids are interested in finding new planets, stars, and galaxies, and 77% want to travel to space. Inspired by these findings, the toy company has been drawing from the universe for over 50 years, aiming to unite children’s curiosity about space through the ultimate creative medium of LEGO bricks.

This year, the company is unveiling several epic Space-themed sets like the LEGO 31142 Creator 3 in 1 Space Roller Coaster and the LEGO 60431 Space Explorer Rover and Alien Life, enabling kids to explore new worlds and unleash their creativity. The LEGO 31152 Space Astronaut is a 3-in-1 building set that allows the builder to blast off as an astronaut into space with a detachable jet-propulsion backpack and a futuristic space dog. Curious explorers of what’s beyond can join in on the LEGO Friends 42605 Mars Space Base and Rocket where all your space friends can gather.  Below are some more interstellar LEGO Space sets that you can get your hands on:

But outer space isn’t all about space stations and rockets. The stars make space just as special. While astronomers in history have set the constellations of our night sky, The LEGO Group also believes that the younger generation can bring a new creative lens to our view of the stars. Celebrating kids’ curiosity about the future of space, the LEGO Group is asking children to reimagine the night sky with their own “funstellations.”

With a guardian’s help, children are invited to visit LEGO.com/Space to download a sky map and join the dots together to show what object or shape they can see in the stars – maybe it’s a cowboy riding a unicorn or a flying whale. Visit LEGO.com/Space to submit your Funstellation and explore space your way.

And if building your own astronaut and creating your own constellation wasn’t enough, the LEGO Group has an out-of-this-world event waiting for kids this coming July. From July 24 to 31, the SM Mall of Asia Atrium will be transformed into a LEGO Space haven where they can make their own LEGO Space builds and decide which cargo they’re bringing along on their cosmic journey. Builders can enjoy up to 29% discount on select LEGO Space sets. Additionally, for every P3,000 minimum purchase of any LEGO set/s, customers will receive a free polybag as a gift with purchase (GWP).
