As part of a Space Themed Camp, we made space suits using disposable Hazmat white coveralls made from a Tyvek type material (1 case of 25 pieces for $100). We talked about why astronauts need space suits and we talked about some of the features that space suits have.

Coloured permanent markers can be used to draw the features of their space suit (valves, communications, and of course, their names - some called themselves a Commander, some used other titles.
