I wish mine were too bro. They all get a grown up room with a theme they choose for their birthday. She chose something I've always been interested in just followed loosely. I'm on a crash course now but at least I have till May.

I have this little moon light in my room. It hangs on the wall and changes phases throughout the night. Its really cool.

Glow in the dark stars also work if she wants to arrange them into constellations.

There are "galaxy" night light/projectors that cast a light on the ceiling/walls. Relatively cheap, and there no need to redecorate if they change themes

Didn't think of that and just happen to have a short throw laser projector in the closet. I could create a playlist of ever changing scenes. I guess I could download full res images from NASA?

Etsy has tons of cute space stuff. Also if you want to do it inexpensively Amazon has nice poster sets of the solar system and space themed bed spreads.

For a minimal amount of money you can buy a laser projector that will cast constellations on the ceiling, and it's bad to the bone.

Also cheap but cool: NASA logo vinyl wall sticker.

I'm not sure what you're doing the rest of the time, but this makes me think you're pretty damned good at parenting.

There are some cool light projectors out there that can display images of stars and nebulae on the walls and ceiling. There's at least one on Amazon that's shaped like an astronaut. I'm an adult and I love them, my daughter does too.

For my kids, I once made a space scene with acrylic paint on black fabric then framed it with a piece of 4x8 rigid styrofoam insulation to look like a ship’s port hole. Lightweight wall hanging you can easily take down later.
