Customer Review: We really like it
Summary: 4 Stars
The most tedious part of this set, for me, was putting Saturn's ring into place. Hanging it was not hard. I used putty that I had bought from the store, I just figured it would work better than the included putty. I installed this whole thing myself (stay at home mom), with a 1 year old and a 3.5 year old and a huge ladder, everyone in the same room that includes a Thomas the train table to work around, and I was able to get them up in no time. I used the smoke detector as the "sun" and lined them up from there. My 3.5 year old knows the name, and color of every planet after 1 hour. So I would say it is educational.
The kit glows well, really well. The stars included are what you would expect. They are kind of poor. I bought a tube of the 3D stars by the same company. It is a tube of just 30 stars. I placed putty on them and stuck them to the ceiling. I just figured the stars should have some dimension like the planets. 1 tube was enough for the whole ceiling.
The room looks great. I highly recommend the tube of 30 3D stars too! They are also fantastic! We have them in both kids rooms. If you buy them, you will need to use a different brand of putty to hang them to your ceiling. My husband hung the stars by string in my daughters with the included putty and they all fell. I stuck them flat with a different putty and they are fine.
I cannot tell you if they glow for an acceptable amount of time b/c I don't use them as a night light. That seems like an unrealistic expectation of anything glow in the dark. I use a really dim night light and my children can still see the bright stars over the dim night light. and I am able to check on them later without walking around in a dark room. In the day time I wish there was a sun, but at night time I wouldn't want it so it isn't that big of a deal to me that it isn't in the kit. Still haven't figured out what to do with Pluto though...
