HAH! I did exactly this with my daughters when they were like 8 or 9. Except I just printed out maps on a piece of paper and we used everyday items for the spaceship. I had a golfclub I used to steer the ship, we had walkie talkies that were scanners too when we explored planets, and I think one of them used a collander as a radar. We cozied up in one of their twin beds with the blankets surrounding us. I basically DM'd the entire thing and they loved it. Weekend mornings while their mom slept in, they'd say "Daddy, can we play space ship?" and then they'd go around the house grabbing things to use as controls for it. Such great memories!
Edit: forgot to mention, I would have loved to have Thorium when we were playing. But then again, I loved their imagination.
- matijash 4y agoThis is an awesome idea, stealing it :)
- mysterydip 4y agoWhen my daughter was ~3, we would use her pop-up fire engine tent as our spaceship, then hop out onto a planet after landing and pick some random stuffed animals to represent aliens. "pickle planet puppy" was a favorite recurring character. lots of earthquakes and volcanoes to create urgency to get back to the ship. Little kids' imaginations are powerful!
