4M 3D Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System Mobile Making Kit - DIY Science Astronomy Learning Stem Toys Educational Gift for Kids & Teens, Girls & Boys

If your child enjoys crafts and is keen on the solar system, DO NOT BUY this model kit. My son loves craft and loves the solar system, but this model caused endless tears and frustration. It's just too fiddly for a child (my son is 10) to complete, and pretty impossible for an adult (threading the fish tie - which comes undone and the whole thing falls apart). It's also not even remotely to scale, even though it gives that impression. And the glow in the dark DOES NOT GLOW! Two very disappointed children here, and one frustrated parent. Take my advice, buy the nice simple and cheap solar system kit from baker ross - yes, it's simple and not completely to scale, but it is do-able for a child and they get a great sense of achievement from it. Surely that's the point of a craft activity, not tears and tantrums (from the parent!)

This product enjoyed by the recipient, and successfully made up even though all instructions were in Polish?! Returned first non English version only to get another on second attempt. Not too pleased.

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.

This was great fun to make. It's a quality product and my child had fun painting the planets.
