GPTOYS 3 in 1 Build and Paint Solar System for Kids, Arts and Crafts Science Kits for Kids Age 4-6-8-12, Glow in The Dark Movable 3D Planets in Orbits, Cool 12" STEM Toys with Galaxy Star Stickers

Purchased for my 8 year old son that is crazy about outer space. This is a good project that needs painted and assembled. My wife ended up assembling this while I was working and she stated it was a little tricky but she got it. After assembly and paint, my kid really likes it. You can move the planets around the sun and no one is now allowed to touch it without permission because he doesn’t want anyone to break it, lol. Which I guess he’s right because if someone steps on it or is too rough, I guess it could break as it’s only plastic. So 5 stars for happiness and some lower scores for assembly and durability.

We needed to make a Geocentric model (Ptolemaic Model) of the solar system. I ordered this and received it within two days in good condition. A13yo was able to open the package and put it together without help. We painted the planets together and placed them in a configuration with Earth in the center and left out some planets that had not yet been discovered. We placed stickers of stars on the outer ring. The project was a great learning tool.

Pretty easy to assemble, the directions weren’t super great but it was easy enough to figure out. The booklet had very good photos to reference. The provided paint, on the other hand, was trash. The red, yellow, and orange had dried to a weird foam consistency and the glow in the dark paint separated and wouldn’t remix. Overall, you’re better off with your own craft paints. Still a good little kit for those last minute projects that your kid forgets to tell you about until they’re nearly due.

My 8 yr old presented it for his Science Solar System project. It’s easy to assemble as they provide labels and tons of paint. It’s also very sturdy. Worth the money. We place it on top of a foam cardboard to make it look like a large Milky Way. It was a success!

A child cannot put this together. We got it together and the “space” rings are cardboard cutout that need to be glued, it doesn’t stick, rather stickers which would be so much easier. Painting the planets, they provide primary colors and purple… some mixes suggest black which is not included. You have to stick the planet on little metal rods and then stick the rods into plastic holders. They are not made to stand upright and keep falling over. A difficult, messy and frustrating experience. Ended up in the garbage.

Este producto nos ha salvado, casi no tengo tiempo libre y esto fue fácil de montar, muy bonito. Es pequeño pero logra su función.

I was sent and old product the paint was dried up and the stickers were bent

My 7 year old son loved working on this project and he loves having it in his room to look at. It was a great find and we recommend this.
