This was a hit with the kids. It visually showed them how the galaxy is.

The kids loved the painting and the fact that the sun lights up. It was easy for them to do with just a bit of assistance and actually having to paint each planet let them become more familiar with the qualities (size/make up/orbit in relation to the sun). Comic that came along with the set was great and the meteor popper was awesome as well.

My son loved it! And I loved that it was perfect at the time seeing that he was learning about the solar system so it made science class for him more fun!

So cute. Easy and relaxing to do. Love the painting part of the project to make the solar personalized.
