  • My 4 Year Olds Love It
I didn't look closely enough at this before buying it and didn't realize I would be painting as well as assembling the mobile for my sons. I simply wanted a finished mobile as my sons like everything 'space'. I am glad I made the mistake as the painting is pretty easy and it looks great in my sons' room. The paint dries very quickly (2 hours for a coat to dry in cold weather) so it can be completed in a short period of time. The mobile is easy to put together. I would have preferred the string to be something other than fishing wire which requires you to knot it more than once to save it coming undone when it stretches. It is a bit fiddly but they are generous with the wire which makes life easier. If you follow the instructions it is easy to balance the mobile. The poster that is included is a bonus. The fact that the mobile spins slowly in the slightest breeze (like closing the door) just makes it more authentic. The only bit that really didn't work well for me was the glow in the dark paint. I must have been doing something wrong as it was too thick to apply evenly. In the end I wiped it off and went without. Painting instructions would improve the product as it primarily tells you to follow the picture on the box. A smaller brush is really needed to paint the finest areas properly. The fact that it is hanging from the ceiling (no close viewing) means that you can get away with what is provided. Overall it is a very good product and makes learning about the solar system fun and interesting. It is a nice decoration for the room and we have fun pointing out the planets and learning what makes them different from each other. To be able to show why it is dark at night and moving on from 'the sun has gone to bed' as an explanation has been my highlight to date. Having seen the product I will purchase it again as a birthday present for a 9 / 10 year old. ... show more

  • Solar system Model
The kit has all of the planets and it glows in the dark. It hangs

  • Great set, with some tweaks
a fantastic set, fun and easy to put together, and fun for kids. (My four-year old daughter loved doing it) A few suggestions: 1. Assemble and hang first, then paint (so your planets won't look like two halves stuck together). We hung ours in the shower to paint for easy cleanup and had a great time painting them as they turned. 2. Prior to assembly, paint the hanging rack to match the color of your ceiling. The model looks beautiful except for the rack, which is blue, and stands out--if only they made it white to begin with! 3. Apply glow in the dark paint direct from the tubes, in thick lines--if you spread it with a brush, the thin layer of glow paint will only glow faintly ... show more

  • A Nice Project
My 5 year old is a spacebug and loves his new solar system. We had lots of fun painting this (together). The painting was relatively easy, the planet halves each have their name embossed inside to make matching easier. There is TONS of paint provided. The frustration came with the fishing line and hooks. A bit finicky, even with my crafty hands. But I managed. I don't see even an 8 or 10 year old liking that part of the project. We have now discarded the main center hook and the solar system is mounted on my son's light fixture in the centre of his bedroom. This way the glow-in-the-dark paint can recharge on the planets while the lights are on during story time, and glow when the lights are out for bedtime :). Advice: go heavy on the glow paint and think about where the light to 'charge' it will come from. I should have laid it heavy on the topside of the planets! Also, it should be noted that the glow does not last long, if not only a few seconds...but no matter, my son still likes it with or without glowing. It was a good hour or so of painting and we waited til the next day for assembly. (We kicked off Spring Break with this). My sturdiness rating is based on it never being touched! It's a hanging mobile, not a toy...that's it! I think that if it were constantly spun by hand that the planets might fall off their strings or worse, split back in half as there is no glue provided. ... show more

  • Love this
My best advise on buying this would be to consider how big of a "perfectionist" your child is when it comes to coloring in the lines. The planet halves already have the land masses, stripes, and craters lined on them for more realistic looking planets after painting. I bought this product for my four year old who loves planets right now. While she had fun painting, I ended up mostly doing it myself because she would get frustrated every time that she colored out of the lines. After everything dried and we snapped the planets together, it was ready for her room by the end of the day. All in all a very nice product for the price. On another note, I purchased a spinning motor (often used for wind chimes) for her mobile after she complained about her planets not really orbiting the sun. This is a must in my opinion. It looks so much nicer in her room now that it's constantly spinning and all of the planets are now really orbiting the sun. If you decide to go this route as well then forgo the fishing line at the top and replace it with a really thin wire instead. I used about a foot and a half of wire from some ribbon folded in half twice. After stringing it through the top piece I then divided it into four and wrapped each separate one around the beginning of a different stick on the mobile. It's not as nice to look at as the clear fishing string, but out of the three ways that I tried it with the spinner (fishing string included) it was the only way that I could get it up without it snapping and falling. ... show more

  • Fun activity
My 5 year old and I had fun putting this together. (Lots of parental help) but now it's hanging from her ceiling and we both learned a lot about the planets in the process. It doesn't glow in the dark much at all but we weren't too disappointed it's still a great craft project.
