Review: My 4 Year Olds Love It - I didn't look closely enough at this before buying it and didn't realize I would be painting as well as assembling the mobile for my sons. I simply wanted a finished mobile as my sons like everything 'space'. I am glad I made the mistake as the painting is pretty easy and it looks great in my sons' room. The paint dries very quickly (2 hours for a coat to dry in cold weather) so it can be completed in a short period of time. The mobile is easy to put together. I would have preferred the string to be something other than fishing wire which requires you to knot it more than once to save it coming undone when it stretches. It is a bit fiddly but they are generous with the wire which makes life easier. If you follow the instructions it is easy to balance the mobile. The poster that is included is a bonus. The fact that the mobile spins slowly in the slightest breeze (like closing the door) just makes it more authentic. The only bit that really didn't work well for me was the glow in the dark paint. I must have been doing something wrong as it was too thick to apply evenly. In the end I wiped it off and went without. Painting instructions would improve the product as it primarily tells you to follow the picture on the box. A smaller brush is really needed to paint the finest areas properly. The fact that it is hanging from the ceiling (no close viewing) means that you can get away with what is provided. Overall it is a very good product and makes learning about the solar system fun and interesting. It is a nice decoration for the room and we have fun pointing out the planets and learning what makes them different from each other. To be able to show why it is dark at night and moving on from 'the sun has gone to bed' as an explanation has been my highlight to date. Having seen the product I will purchase it again as a birthday present for a 9 / 10 year old. Review: Fun stem project - Really cute solar system model!! The instructions were easy to understand!

Its around 31 pieces altogether. Each planet is in 2 pieces, there are individual hangers and then the cross bar to hang them from.

The instructions were easy to understand! We did use acrylic paint to paint the plants so they would be vibrant! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great project for kids *by U***R on February 17, 2015* Got this for my 6 year old kids' holiday gift. We painted and partially assembled it together during a couple of afternoons, then I strung it together by myself. It's definitely not a project they could do on their own, but it was fine with an adult helping -- as long as the adult isn't too picky about the end product! Overall it was relatively simple and the directions were good enough. Pros: * Sufficient paint. We did though run out of some colors -- don't expect to use the same color on several planets. * Easy to snap the planets together -- and pull them apart again if needed. Kids did the painting and snapping together themselves, once I showed them how to align the pieces correctly (so the two halves of the hole for the hangar pieces line up). * Plenty of fishing line for hanging, though you won't think so when you first see it. * Assembly is easy enough, though still enough challenge for an older kid to enjoy. I did have to map it all out on the table before starting to string them on the support pieces, since the planets are close enough in size that it's not easy to tell them apart. Cons: * I was surprised to see that the unpainted planets were a dark blue plastic -- most paint colors covered it OK, though needing a bit more than they would otherwise for coverage, but getting a light color meant first "priming" it with white. * Barely enough glow paint, and it doesn't glow much. It does if you shine a bright light directly on it for a few minutes, and then make the room really dark. But since it's a mobile, most kids' bedrooms aren't going to have a bright light *under* it. And having one over it simply makes the top of the planets glow -- which you can't see unless you're really tall. Another minor problem I ran into is that the assembly instructions showing where on each hangar to hang each planet are only in centimeters. I couldn't find a ruler anywhere in my house with metric on it so I had to pull out the calculator and convert to inches. I won't deduct any stars for that, since I'd rather the US went metric anyway, and I have no good excuse for not having a dual-system ruler in the house. But be forewarned. Liked, it and would buy it again. ## Frequently Bought Together - 4M 3D Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System Mobile Making Kit - DIY Science Astronomy Learning Stem Toys Educational Gift for Kids & Teens, Girls & Boys - My First Book of Planets: All About the Solar System for Kids - Solar System for Kids: A Junior Scientist's Guide to Planets, Dwarf Planets, and Everything Circling Our Sun --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1650791-4m-kidzlabs-solar-system-planetarium-kit](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1650791-4m-kidzlabs-solar-system-planetarium-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
