  • Toddlerhood to Childhood Decoration of 'Whoa, not bad'
Style: Single
I am all about early childhood introduction for those upcoming educational lessons. In school there was a huge divide on who knew something vs who didn't know anything in elementary. Likely those young ones who knew something had someone who introduced them. I also came from a house hold of young attractive single mother who barely (jokingly) survived being a mom to a teenage girl. My solution as the teenage mom grown into motherhood with my own female daughters was to find what they like before turning into a teenager in hopes of less 'boy' distraction; those years are challenging and need to be prepared for in advance. In movies growing up the girls who were more intune with their education and less intune with nature transition distraction into adulthood were girls who were interested in stargazing, but I didn't proceed with the purchase as that realm is full of studious requirements. One like minded mother in the comments had provided the round about measurements for a home display of enjoying a little nature, a little introduction in education, a little interest, and some style. I was able to measure out the distances and came up short for one of my three displays. Poor Pluto, someone wanted their name in a book so they proclaimed that Pluto was no longer apart of the solar system, but he maintained his rightful place in box, display, in my heart, and mind especially as a favored planet despite being too cold, a little small, and taking too long to navigate around the sun (definition of planet.) I had also purchased glow in the dark stars that reminded me of my own childhood. Grandma purchased a glow in the dark story book with my name on it where I took a quarter ride on a rocket ship to visit the stars but returned home promptly after the quarter ride stopped moving if and when I was ready to. I did the same for my own children, but not everyone has that drive, interest, desire to pick up the falling stars from the ceiling, or pluck them from their great heights when they are ready to move on to the next sky. Later on I found an amazing night light that lit up the planets and stars with gentle soothing colorful lights of an aura. This has been a huge win for the rooms of my mini me spawns with a nice way to relax after a book at bedtime, or admiring the stars into slumber with wee ones for a good view. ... show more

  • Ignore the negative vibes, this set is great...
Style: Single
I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews; they almost prevented me from purchasing this set. This set is great. Yes, they are plastic. Yes, the paint job is simple. Yes, hanging system amounts to thumb tacks and fishing line. But fifteen dollars doesn't get you far in life these days, and for the price its great. Looks like Space Mountain in my kid's room. Lets address the complaints. These glow fantastic. The complaints about poor glowing amount to user error and requires having basic knowledge of lighting and a little common sense. If you simply have a standard light on in the room for an infinite amount of time, the planets will likely not glow very good. Why? Answer: Because the light is not DIRECTED at the planets. A standard bulb spreads out the light in all directions, thus limiting the potential light the planets could absorb. The same goes for natural daylight, not to mention that you are hanging the planets from the CEILING. It's like putting a solar landscape light under a large oak tree and asking what gives. And I'm not really sure why you would use a black or UV light?? Do what I do, get a 1000 lumen work light and shine on planets for 20 minutes, you will be more than satisfied with the results. As for the hanging system, for someone who has difficulties tying their own shoes, this was a non-issue. Fairly easy to work with, does take a little time and patience. Took about 45 minutes of actual hanging time to do four planets, if I tried harder could have shaved some time. I can't imagine the hanging system being much better with customizable heights. And the claim that the planet color schemes are not identified in the instructions is completely false. It is on the very first page, under the pictures of all the planets. It even says "The colors indicated below will help you find the corresponding glow in the dark planet". But really, even if the color schemes weren't listed, it takes about 30 seconds to figure out which is which with a little deductive reasoning, no "research" required. Earth is green and blue, Saturn has rings, Jupiter is the biggest without rings, Mars is the red one, Pluto is the smallest, Mercury the second smallest, Venus is the smallest of planets left, Uranus is solid color without variation, and Neptune is last. What's hard about that? Ugh. And all the fuss about the sun seems ridiculous. Why would the sun be in a glow in the dark set? Do you see the sun at night? Where is the moon? Where are all of the moons? Using the ceiling light as the sun makes sense, for those of whom it makes any difference to. Now, if you want a durable toy, which this should not be considered, or a strong educational tool, then this set might not be for you. But if you want an awesome room accessory and a happy kid, this will work. ... show more

  • So fun!
Style: Single
We love how easy they were to put up. They come with glow stickers. I put those on the bunk beds and bought a separate set of stars with the moon. We love our solar system.

  • Great alien planets
Style: Single
Not very accurate, Pluto doesn’t even have its heart and there is no sun. Great, hard plastic balls that glow pretty bright with minimal light exposure. We call them alien planets and that makes it more exciting for the kiddos. Would buy again, but not for educational purposes
