Astronaut Helmet
Professor O will help you learn: Making a wearable helmet from a box teaches you why real astronauts need a sealed helmet to breathe and stay safe in space, where there is no air.
⚠️ An adult should cut the large face hole. Check the helmet fits loosely and never covers the child's nose or mouth so they can always breathe easily.
