University Games 3-D Planets in a Tube Glow-in-the-Dark

I'm an idiot - my boy got a set of planets and loved them, so his little sis naturally wanted them too. I picked this up as it appears to be the same brand with the same brightly-coloured planets but I didn't check the sizing... these planets are actually tiny! They are easy enough to put up, just tie up a wire and pin to the ceiling, and they glow in the dark quite nicely. Cheap too but again, it's probably because these things are so small! I will give these 5 stars as they definitely do as they say, and the sizing issue was my fault, not that of the product.

Perfect planets, daughter made her school project on planets, using this set in her display, very happy, eaay to assemble, sturdy product, great value for money, grear fun for my daughter & kids.

Very good quality and very good glow in the dark

Much smaller than i thought and not that bright in the dark. Disappointing. Some of the planets to small for younger children

This was christmas present and I thought it was a great way to learn about the planets.

Love these little planets! As you can see from my picture, I have strung them from the living room light shade; I think they look fantastic and my friend loves them so much, she got me to order her some too. The invisible thread supplied is nice and strong and there's a lot of it. As I tied the planets to the lamp shade, I didn't use the putty. I searched '3D solar system' and was able to place the planets roughly in their right places. I read some reviews that they did not glow in the dark but mine do! Perfect for £4.99 these would make a fantastic stocking filler.

These planets are very good! I ordered them for my 5yr old's Solar System project as didn't fancy trying to find and paint polystyrene balls. They do glow in the dark as described and are reasonably accurate in size/colour. I think they are very good value. I was impressed that they came with some strong invisible thread to hang them by and also some putty so they could be stuck to the ceiling if required. They were a little fiddly for the children to thread onto the string, but nothing an adult couldn't do. My only complaint/recommendation would be that it took some time of internet searching before I could be certain of which planet was which and in which order they should go as the smaller ones were not as easily recognisable. (Especially as different websites show some of the planets as different sizes and colours to other sites) It would be handy if a leaflet could be added to tell you this or even a picture on the side with the planets all named and in order. However this is only a minor issue. If you have a solar system project to do or a planet loving child then these are perfect!

Bought these to make a planetarium with my 9 year old. Perfect for the job we needed it for. But the adhesive isn’t really all that and kept coming unstuck so we had to resort to blu tac. This was on cardboard, so may be different on other surfaces.
