Product Overview

The KidzLabs Solar System Planetarium is a complete build-and-paint kit that lets children assemble a glow-in-the-dark model of the solar system. Plastic planets snap together without glue, attaching to a stand with rotating arms embossed with the distance from the sun for each planet. Once assembled, the 11.8-inch model can be painted with the included paint strip and glow paint, creating highlights that glow in the dark after being charged under light.

Snap-together assembly requires no glue, with planets attaching to rotating arms marked with distance-from-sun details for an interactive learning experience
Complete kit includes planetarium model with stand, paintbrush, paint strip, glow paint, and assembly instructions
Painted planets glow in the dark after light exposure, transforming the model into a luminous night sky display
11.8-inch spannable size makes a striking addition to any space
