Product Overview

Kids build and paint their own Earth-Moon model, then watch it glow in the dark. The kit includes a 3D Moon model, a rotating stand, and a paint strip with both regular and glow-in-the-dark paint, so the finished piece can be customized before it goes on display. Smooth surfaces prepped with sanding paper give the model a polished finish once painted. Fun facts and quizzes about the Earth and Moon round out the project for kids who want to study like a real astronomer.
