Brainstorm The Original Glowstars Company Glow Solar System Age 6+

It looks nice 👍

I bought this item back in summer for my children's room as this is a theme which is great for a boy/girl room share.The globes were not as large as I expected, however once I put them up they complimented the 'sun' light shade which we have covering the light bulb.The planets are each made of two half globes joined in the middle. This can be a problem for those who have a low ceiling and a bunkbed with an inquisitive child on top! I personally didn't find the picture on the pack a good guide, so looked up the solar system layout online (and in the process found out that Pluto is no longer considered a planet! So it wasn't a manufacturing error!) I used the light bulb as the sun. Initially I spaced the planets quite apart trying to cover the ceiling, but the further planets did not glow. Once they were bought closer to the light, they gave off enough glow for about an hour (after exposure to half an hours light during story time).So glow wise, it's not an all night thing. However if you label the planets, it is a great interactive way of getting the kids to learn about the solar system and does create quite a nice focal point on an otherwise bland area. My six year old has learnt the order of the planets just by reading these. I bought some glow in the dark stars to go with these so we have our own 'night sky' for about an hour before the little ones travel to the land of nod.

Excellent product at great price. Plus superfast shipping

The putty supplyed does not stick so i had to buy white tack to stick them to the ceiling. They are not as colourful as the pictures makes out. A torch has to be shone directly onto them to get them to glow at all. Not good quality considering the price.

Look good but don’t hold the light charge for long and do not stay on the ceiling with the tack provided, even with some inventive tacking. Would not recommend for the price

My kid loves this ! It's fairly trippy too. Its that Tim Peakes fault I had to shell out for this for my son, however it's v.educational. That is all

They don’t stay hanging for long and fell down 3 times in 2 hours. They were delivered 2 days late and they don’t glow in the dark at all. Also if you want the full solar system beware - there’s no Pluto.

Excellent item

Mon commentaire va paraître bête mais je transmets les infos que je cherchais et que je ne trouvais pas !Donc les planètes sont petites et tiennent dans le creux de la main, ce sont bien des sphères et brillent très bien dans le noir.Elles ne brillent pas longtemps mais suffisamment pour faire le boulot qu'on attend d'elles.

Leider leuchtet das Produkt nicht so wie es der Name verspricht. Die Planeten farblich nicht ganz treffend widergegeben. Sehr plastiklastig. Nicht weiter zu empfehlen.

nice product

Están muy chulos para decorar una habitación.Yo en vez de la masilla que trae le puse cinta de doble cara y la cubrí con estrellas por si a alguien le interesa y la tranza la puse más fina.

I bought these for my almost three year old nephew and let me tell you they went down a treat. He absolutely loves space and planets at the moment and these were perfect.The planets are not to scale or large but they are perfect for his little hands to hold. The smaller planets are approximately 2cm diameter with the larger being approximately 5cm. They seem to be made from what feels like quite good plasitic and felt sturdy enough to me for my nephew to drop, kick and throw with no issue.The packet comes with some string and bluetack type stuff to use to hang it up but I just bought it so he can handle the planets. They also glowed in the dark quite nicely.The only thing that would have made that little boy happier was if it had come with a sun also.
