4M 3D Glow in the Dark Solar System Mobile Making Kit

Fantastic project - spent two afternoons having great fun with my 10 year old son making this and it now looks fantastic hanging from his bedroom ceiling. This was the first thing on his Christmas list after a science topic at school and he couldn't wait to get started. We spent one afternoon painting the planets and the next one assembling the solar system. Adult assistance is needed as tying the nylon wire is very fiddly and tedious! The end result is worth it though and there is an added bonus of a poster included. Excellent purchase!

My 7 year old daughter who loves space was delighted with this...she had great fun making it and it looks fab hanging from the ceiling in her room. The glow paint isn't great, but overall very nice kit. Fun to make, educational, and looks good to hang afterwards!

Thank you for the mobile which kept me occupied for several days. I wanted one after watching re-runs of Dr Who. The hole in the hanging structure seemed too large, it kept falling out, so I superglued it in and glued the rods in while I was at it. There were enough hooks left over to hang up a tiny moon which I made with blu-tak. And being a child of the 50s I made a little Pluto as well.

Bought this as a present for a young relative to try and encourage them with something fun but educational. It did just that! We had a good time painting and building the mobile (it looks well now it's finished) and it encouraged further research into the solar system. Only problem was the glow in the dark paint didn't really work and the price is a bit high! And it is a bit delicate but I suppose they couldn't really have made it much more durable than it is...and sure it'll be on the ceiling anyway. Despite these small problems I'm still very happy with the purchase and if I could go back would still buy it.

I got this for my daughter who is a primary school teacher as this was to be the topic . It was easy to make up and the children loved it, Although they have moved onto a different Topic this term I am sure it will come out of the cupboard for other children to enjoy another term. Good Value for the money.

Really good value, my child sat and painted the planet's.. A bit fiddly to assemble but now looks great in his room

My little 7 year old loves anything to do with the solar system. This is a great mobile which they get to paint and put together themselves. Makes a great gift.

Bought as a birthday gift for my 8 year old granddaughter. She loved constructing and painting with her mum and the finished mobile looks great. The only disappointing feature was the "glow in the dark" paint does not work. If you could fix the glow in the dark feature I would have given it 5 stars.

Product is fab son loved making had interesting facts and poster .At first thought We could not hang as only saw hole in one planet then realised the others had a groove on the plastic 🙈 sorry good learning activity

Was fun making with the kids

A mi hijo le encantó. Lo ha hecho con ayuda puesto que tiene 6 años. Ha quedado muy bonito y ya lo tiene colgado en su cuarto. Trae una pintura especial para el final, para que los planetas brillen en la obscuridad. Lo recomiendo.

L'ho regalato a mio figlio di 6 anni insieme el libro dei pianeti e delle stelle. L'imballaggio e le tempistiche di Amazon sempre perfette. La scatola contiene: due set di colori, due confezioni di vernice che si illumina al buio, un pennello, un rocchetto di lenza, il set di pianeti , un set di ganci e aste per appendere i pianeti, un poster del sistema solare, istruzioni (anche in italiano). I colori sono più che sufficienti per colorare tutti i pianeti, dare più di una mano e fare tutti i ritocchi necessari. La lenza è più che sufficiente a noi ne è avanzata moltissima perché non abbiamo un soffitto molto alto. La vernice glow è un po' scarsità, nel senso che si riesce a fare tutto ma per far splendere bene il tutto bisognerebbe abbondare un pochino e magari passare due mani. I pianeti dono di plastica dura e si incastrano facilmente, hanno un forellino in alto dove andrà infilato il fermo con la lenza per appendere poi al supporto. Tutti o pianeti, tranne la Terra, sono costituiti da due emisferi ricavati dallo stesso stampo quindi quando unire te la due metà i disegni combacieranno e saranno a specchio. Per quanto riguarda la Terra, invece, non potendo ricorrere al sotterfugio della stampa speculare, sono ben visibili l'Africa e l'Europa su un pezzo e l'Australia sull'altro ma le Americhe e il continente asiatico sono completamente sbagliati. Il gioco stimola la curiosità dei bambini, è interessante per la componente manuale che attira sempre i più piccoli e fa ottima mostra di sé una volta terminato. Consigliato.

It was for a 5 year olds birthday and he loves it.
