Nine Planets DIY Solar System Model for Kids - Complete Solar System Kit for Kids 8+ Years Old - Includes Wood Model & Puzzle with Fact Cards - Science Kits for 8-12 Years Old

This was perfect! We made this a group project for my kids 8 yr old, 3 yr old and 2 yr old. Very easy to put together and beautiful! The cards made it educational and it was fun to see them make their own twist. Highly recommend!

This was a cute project, my granddaughter and I put it together and painted it. She absolutely loved it. Its not very sturdy but great little activity

I bought twelve of these for a STEM class. The kids were 10-11 years old. I put together a PPP to accompany the Solar System and Planetary explanations and facts. Although the kit comes with cards for each planet. The kit comes with everything needed and was a fun project to complete. The value is unmatched. The content and quality are awesome. What it states it has; rest assured is included. There are also extra Styrofoam planets. Once put together the system is durable and really cool. So glad I purchased these. The kids had a great time, but I would say they definitely need adult help to break out the wooden pieces from the molds and assemble. Luckily I had four helpers.

Purchased for my fifth grade homeschoolers. They really enjoyed putting it together and painting the planets. Easy to assemble and fun to paint. The included planet fact cards were a great resource for visualizing what the planets look like in order to paint them.

For what its worth, it was just what my kiddo ended up needing for his class project. You get foam balls and paint. The paint is fine and whether your a artist or next they have cards to show you what each planet should look like so you can paint them right. They also attach to the wooden stand nice and have little stickers of the name for the planets to put on so you can explain which is which.

This model is just okay. It was pretty easy to put together, but wood can split if you push too hard. My child was upset that the Jupiter card was missing and instead he got two Mars cards. The rings on the foundation plates also didn’t line up.

My 6 year old who LOVES space, was in love when he saw this on Amazon. The price point is great, he was able to purchase with his own money. It was easy to assemble, and kept him busy for a long time. He had some help from his dad with assembly, but after that he did it all on his own. We were happy to see that the paints were not dried out when we opened them up. That has been an issue with other sets we have purchased recently. It was nice that it comes with a paintbrush to use. It has another set of planets he is going to paint at a different time to use on the puzzle board. He is excited to do that again. It’s nice that came with another set of paint as well. He likes that the planets are paintable, and when it’s fully assembled “the planets don’t bonk into each other when rotating the arms around”.
