Great for School Projects
This product is perfect for the kids needing to create planets for their school projects. it comes non painted and the person must paint the planets and place them on the stand. it comes with clear instructions and how to position the students need to place them in to be able to talk about the planets. It is kind of small and is not really easy to carry with out it falling a part but it is really easy to put back together. The reason for the 4 star on assemble is due to the fact that you have to place the rings on saturn and it being small makes it hard to put in place. Depending the age of the person may need some adult help to get it put together.

Smart and easy set
This was quite simple and a lot of fun to do with my kid. The instructions were very clear and everything fit together (mostly) like it was supposed to. There were a few flaws, however, that made me take off a star: It is smaller than it is made to look on the box. Some of the planets would not snap together fully, leaving a small gap at the equator. Finally, the paint has remained tacky even after several days of drying. Because the distance between the inner planets is so small, the tacky paint makes a few of the planets stick together. I also used some of my own acrylic paints to get the exact colors that I wanted. Overall, it is a smart little set and looks very good when done.

Sweet little solar system, model
My granddaughter, and I completed the model, but it was not easy since it is so very small. It was not complicated just hard to manipulate in order to paint. That said this was a terrific project which kept her engaged throughout. The completed model was awesome. It is well worth the effort. Also, it was a wonderful price for what you got.

Great, Simple, Fun, and Small
I’d give this 4.5 stars if that were an option (and why isn’t it an option, by the way?). It was perfect for our needs as an elementary home school family. My first grader loved it and was able to learn from the 3D, hands-on experience. There’s no better way to learn an abstract concept. I snapped the planets together and sanded them slightly with the sandpaper square to “rough them up” before painting, as suggested. My seven-year-old and I snapped them into position on the model and then painted them together. The paint adhered to the planets very well. The glow paint didn’t work well when we mixed it with other paints, but it did work well on the planets that we applied it to as a top layer (just a little FYI). This model is very small, but that works well for us. Just for reference, the “sun” is about the size of a ping pong ball. Jupiter is about the size of a giant marble, maybe a bit larger. The planets and distances between are not to scale but served our purpose well. We were wanting to learn about orbits, positions of the planets, and sequence from the sun. The only thing I would have liked to change was the fact that the set doesn’t include Pluto. Yes, I know it’s no longer considered a planet as it is now considered a “dwarf planet”. Still, I would’ve liked to have it in the set.

Hard to Put Together
I bought this for my sonâs birthday, he is 5. It was a little advance for him, I also had troubles putting it together. The instructions are unclear. It is a great idea, just not what we expected.

Perfect for my kids Earth project
If your child has a school project to make a model or picture of the Earth, there’s a kit that could be perfect for the task. It’s easy to assemble and even a six-year-old child can paint the Earth and Moon with little help. The Earth and Moon pieces are in two halves that click together easily. The kit comes with etched printing on both pieces, with the Earth showing continents and islands to help with painting. You can choose to add glow-in-the-dark paint, but it’s optional. One of the best features of this kit is that the Earth spins and the Moon rotates around it, which makes it fun for kids. The movement may be tight and squeaky at first, but it will loosen up over time. The Earth and Moon slide off easily if the whole thing is picked up, but if you keep it in one place, it’s perfect for displaying your child’s work. Overall, this kit is great for school projects or just for display.
