With space exploration back in the headlines thanks to NASA’s upcoming Artemis II mission, one classic toy company is giving kids a fun way to join the excitement.
Stomp Rocket®, the family-owned brand known for its kid-powered rocket launchers, has introduced the Stomp Rocket® Space Collection, a NASA-inspired set that lets kids launch three famous spacecraft right from their own backyard.
Three Iconic NASA Rockets Kids Can Launch
The Stomp Rocket® Space Collection ($24.99) brings real space history into playtime with foam rockets modeled after three legendary spacecraft:
- SLS Rocket
• Space Shuttle Atlantis
• Saturn V Rocket
Kids stomp on the launch pad and watch the rockets shoot up to 100 feet into the air using an adjustable launch stand. It’s simple, energetic fun, and it quickly turns into a challenge to see whose rocket can go the highest.
The set is designed for kids ages 5 and up, and the soft foam rockets make it safe for enthusiastic launches.
Active Play With a STEM Twist
Like all Stomp Rocket toys, the Space Collection is 100% kid-powered, which means no batteries, no charging, and no screens.
Kids provide the energy by running and stomping on the launcher. Along the way they start experimenting with angles, force, and timing, which introduces basic STEM concepts like motion, trajectory, and physics in a way that feels more like play than learning.
A Toy Brand Kids Have Loved for 30 Years
While the Space Collection brings a NASA theme to the mix, Stomp Rocket® itself has been entertaining kids for three decades.
The original toy line includes rockets that can soar as high as 400 feet, with some sets designed for children as young as three years old.
Stomp Rocket is made by D&L Company in Minden, Nevada, and the toys are STEM.org Authenticated™, recognizing their educational value.
Over the years the brand has sold more than 20 million toys and picked up numerous awards, including:
- Creative Child Magazine Toy of the Year Awards (2018–2023)
• Mom’s Choice Gold Award (2019)
• Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award (2019)
• ASTRA Best Toys for Kids Awards (2022 and 2024)
Stomp Rocket toys have also been featured in national outlets including Good Housekeeping, Parents Magazine, Woman’s Day, Scary Mommy, TODAY Parents, Tinybeans, MSN, Yahoo, and BuzzFeed.
