Bring the galaxy a little closer to home with the Solar System Kit, a hands-on science and art project that lets kids build and customize their own glowing mini-planetarium. Assemble each planet sphere, paint them with realistic or imaginative color schemes, then position them correctly around the sun to complete the display.

Flip the switch and watch as the light-up feature causes the planets to glow beautifully in the dark, recreating the magic of stargazing from your room. Plus, decorate any space with the included string-light solar system—perfect for bedroom walls, desks or study corners.

Designed for ages 8 and up, this engaging STEM craft encourages curiosity about astronomy while supporting creativity and tactile building skills. It’s a show-stopping science project, a unique décor piece and a great gift for aspiring astronauts and space enthusiasts.
