3-D Solar System

Downside is they're a pain to hang up -- tying fishing line around a thumbtack 9 times is a challenge. We also taped the heavier planets because the tacks look like they'll come out.

But still, overall, this beats the 2D mobile type competitors hands down -- I'd recommend it but set aside an hour or two to hang them up.

My daughter got one of these but never showed much interest, so we hung it in my 4-yo son's room. It was so cool, the planets glow really brightly and in different colors....Jupiter is kind of red and neptune is blueish. I take every opportunity to go in his room and watch these, I want my own set. Now all I need to do is convince my wife.
Very cool toy.

This thing is great. Would suggest purchasing additional and larger glow in the dark stars to compliment the sysyem. The only thing it lacks is that it doesn't come with the moon or the sun. Critical. As far as entertainment and bringing a kids room to life,... unbeatable. I have slept in the same room with my son the past 3 nights sent we set it up. My son tells everyone that comes to our house to come see his room. Knows all the planets now. Highly recommended!
