4M - Solar System Toys Model Making Kit Large

Build, Paint and Hang Your Own Solar System

Turn a fascination with space into something kids can make themselves. The 4M Solar System Model Making Kit (Large) lets children aged 8 and up build and paint all eight planets, then bring them together as a hanging mobile for their bedroom or classroom.

From choosing the colours to putting the planets in order, this hands-on project gives young space fans a creative way to explore our solar system. Once it is hanging up, their handiwork becomes a starting point for more questions about the worlds beyond Earth.

What's Inside

• Planet components to build a model of all eight planets in our solar system.
• Painting and assembly materials for creating a hanging planet mobile.
