National Geographic Glow-in-The-Dark Solar System Model Kit for Kids - Build & Paint a 3D Planetary Model with Movable Arms, STEM Projects for Kids Ages 8-12, Space Themed Bedroom Decor

My son is obsessed with space, so this was the perfect gift for him. The instructions were easy to follow, and the paint dried within a couple of hours and was still fresh. While the plastic parts of the model feel a bit cheaply made, my son didn’t mind at all—he loved painting and building it entirely on his own. It now proudly sits in his room as a fun display. I also appreciated that it included an outer space poster, which was a nice added touch

We got this for a little space loving 8 year old birthday boy. He was thrilled. Easy to put it together and educational which adds to the functionality of it. It encourages learning while it’s on his nightstand and was really reasonably priced. The aesthetic and quality is a plus too. Very pleased.

Gift for a 7 year old - a little craft with painting the planets and then assembling them into order. Helpful with learning the solar system.

I purchased this kit as a supplement to our summer vacation study about space. My daughter loves learning about the planets, and she loves art and crafts. We worked on this together one afternoon. We chose to use some acrylic paint pens I'd purchased for another project instead of the provided paint. The pens made it very easy to create the details on the planets. The model was a bit smaller than I anticipated, so it was a little difficult to paint. But we enjoyed working on it together, and we were able to spend some time talking about arranging the planets.

This is a fun way for kids to learn about the solar system. The pieces are well made, and the glow-in-the-dark feature is a big hit. Great mix of learning and play.

My grandson loved it. It was a Christmas gift. He’s very much into the solar system and painting. A little delicate to handle but good for small hands.

Easy instructions, enough paint for extra touch ups, super fun to do with my 4 year old. I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought. Great time together and it turned out beautifully. Didn't expect this thing to now be a focus on our family wall.

Paint does not stick on surfaces.
