4M KidzLabs Solar System Planetarium Model, Arts & Crafts Science Kit

Perfect, Kids love this, value for money

First time round had a missing part, which we didn't discover until sometime after when we came to build it. But this was resolved very fast (next day) with a new item being sent, which was complete and we are currently painting. Excluding the first time, I would recommend this as a good little educational project and my girls are enjoying it.

I must say I really didn't expect much from this item. When I bought it, I thought it'd be a bit of quick fun, a two minutes and throw away kind of job. But it turns out it's much more than that! How good it is for child use, I unfortunately cannot say. I myself am somewhat of a big kid, and love science and space. And I loved it. It's easy to do, and you end up with a nice display piece afterwards. Also it comes with awesome glow in the dark paint, which actually illuminates the planets at night time. The paint provided gives you the freedom to paint the planets how you like. Make sure you look carefully at the instructions, to make sure you've put the right planets in the right place! Also be careful what poles you use to stick the planets in, as if you use the wrong ones you won't be able to spin them past each other. Some of the plastic pieces are difficult to extract and put together, probably because this isn't the highest quality item out there. For the price you pay, you really can't go wrong though. A great way to spend an afternoon! Pros: so much fun, glow in the dark and a quality ornament after Cons: Some of the plastic is difficult to separate. Also quite difficult to put the planets together. Overall, highly recommended.

I bought this to make with my grandson,6, who has an interest in the night sky, and he loved it. This definitely needs adult supervision - some of the pieces would not fit together and needed trimming with a Stanley blade, and assembly needs care and to be very methodical. My grandson painted the sun and the planets (after adult mixing of the paint) although Earth is tricky as the seas and land areas need to be different colours. Saturn's rings took a long time to fit as the central hole in the card needs to be cut larger than indicated. There were no English instructions, just two sets of foreign ones, and no wall chart of the solar system as indicated on the box. My grandson did not lose attention for the two hours (in two sessions) that it took to assemble and paint this model, and was very keen to take it home to proudly show it to the rest of the family.

Doing this right now with my daughter. Was going well until we started to paint and realised there was no where to hold the spheres. The instructions didn’t mention what to do with the little steel bars. Plus there’s 9 bars and 8 planets. All the bars are different lengths, which don’t tally with the lengths in one image or the box images. This has thoroughly tripped us up. There is no mention of which bar to put with which planet so runs the risk of having the planets bang into each other. Very annoying and making a lovely afternoon rather stressful. We had to ignore the instructions and wing it. There is no clear way to identify the planets once they are out of the packaging and clipped together either. Apart from trying to match up markings on the little pictures, which did work but was time consuming and a little difficult. My daughter is generally enjoying it, and I like that there is data about the planets in the book and on the arms of the solar system. Looks good once it’s together and painted - small but good. Haven’t seen the effectiveness of the glow paint yet - hopefully later. Good priced set but unless you’re happy to do it with minimal guidance I’d maybe invest a little more in one, in the hope to get more comprehensive instructions.

Bought as a gift. And really appreciated by its recipient, who spent hours carefully painting each planet as well as he could. Assembly isn't physically too difficult, but working out the order of assembly and what goes where required some help. A great sense of achievement accompanied completion. Would I recommend this? Yes, for a child with an interest in the solar system.

Very accurately moulded and engineered but the Sun and planets are not accurately scaled e.g in real life the Sun is 865,000 miles in diameter and Mercury is only 3,100 i.e. 0.35% of the Sun's dia. But the model shows the Sun at 40mm and Mercury at 12mm and it real life, Saturn is 25 times the diameter of Mercury, so either Saturn must be reduced or Mercury increased in size for display purposes. For a practical display model the orbital distances also have to be reduced enormously a 40mm Sun would place Mercury about 800mm away and if it was to scale Neptune would be 60m away (you would need a bigger house). That said, when painted up, it looks very nice. (I am in the process of installing a more realistic model spanning 250m and even here the planet sizes have to be increased to be practical).

It is a blast to build and learn with this product but do be careful as 'small parts' are included with the planets etc. It went together easily and my kid enjoyed clipping the planets and sun into solid balls, a few didn't seat quite perfect and it did take some effort to remove the plastic 'nubbins' left over from the frame the planets were attached too. The OH helped with the painting side (as I am no picasso!), the instructions did say the paint will stick better if you sand everything slightly (sand paper was included BTW) but we didn't bother and everything went on fine and isn't coming off any time soon. One thing I would say is that it is incredibly easy to disassemble so unless you decide to glue it together or something it can be taken apart (or explode apart if dropped off a shelf) and then put back together, can't say it isn't robust though ;)

Item was as described and well detailed for my daughter to complete her assignment.

孫がとっても、喜びました！！

My son crazy about planets and he just adores this solar system toy! It’s also can be lighted by special paint which lights in the dark! Amazing for this price)

Bought this for my grandson I was more impressed with it than he was but it’s a nice set. I think it’s good quality. It’s a great gift if you’re into planet

En iyi güneş sistemi ama yeterli değil. Daha iyi seçenek olsa tercih etmezdim. Aksamı çok sağlam değil, basit yapılmış
