ABOUT OUR PRODUCT: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The product was received in 3 days & here are my overall observations of the complete purchase. 1. The product set is a Chinese product imported by various indian distributors. In our case it was imported by kumar toys in February 2018. 2. The packing was casual & disappointing as the outer packet of the set was all crushed open. Thankfully inner items were all intact. 3. This toy set includes -: a.) A pair of 9 white colored plastic semi-spheres including a pair for sun & 8 other pairs for 8 planets of solar system. The semi-spheres can be fitted together to form various planets & sun. b.) A little paint brush & a set of 7 colors in little plastic containers. c.) A circular plastic base for supporting the system & interconnecting rods & parts. d.) A 1x1 inch 0 size fine emery paper to scrub the spheres before painting for better colour adhesion over rough surfaces. However its much less in quantity required. e.) An instruction booklet for assembling of structure printed in chinese & english. f.) Two paper rings to be fitted over the sphere of Saturn. 4. Each interconnecting rod of varying size has a miniature embossing of the planet name & its distance from sun. 5. The product is rated for kids above 8 years of age however in my opinion kids these days are smarter & it’s well suited for lids 6 years & above. 6. The distance from end to end planets stretched apart on opposite sides is approximately 30 cms. 7. The overall construction quality of the included plastic parts is quite decent given the price. 8. The paint has to be applied over each spherical planet and dried. Inclusion of white color while painting gives a feeble β€œGlow in dark β€œ effect. 9. I got it for 374 bucks which is quite reasonable in my opinion. FINAL VERDICT: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I have included an all-painted, all complete snapshot of the product & I must admit that after an initial fear & annoyance of giving too much efforts in painting etc. Finally it was a great fun DIY activity with my kid. Such a decent quality , decent VFM , educational product clubbed with fun of team activity is highly recommended. Review: SMART PICKS Solar Planetarium System: A Stellar Educational Tool with Room for Improvement - The SMART PICKS Solar Planetarium System promises an immersive and educational journey through the cosmos, offering users the opportunity to explore the wonders of the solar system from the comfort of their own homes. While the concept of the Solar Planetarium System is undeniably intriguing, my experience with the product revealed both its strengths and areas for improvement. Engaging Educational Experience: One of the standout features of the SMART PICKS Solar Planetarium System is its ability to engage users in a hands-on exploration of the solar system. The system includes a variety of components, such as a planetarium dome, planetary models, and educational materials, all designed to facilitate learning and discovery. As users assemble the planetarium and observe the movement of the planets, they gain a deeper understanding of celestial mechanics and the relative positions of celestial bodies. Interactive Features: The Solar Planetarium System incorporates interactive features that enhance the learning experience. For example, users can adjust the position of the planets and observe how their orbits change in real-time. This interactivity fosters a sense of curiosity and experimentation, encouraging users to explore the solar system from different perspectives. Room for Improvement: However, despite its engaging features, the SMART PICKS Solar Planetarium System has some areas where it could be improved. One notable issue is the complexity of assembly, which may pose challenges for younger users or those with limited dexterity. Additionally, the durability of some components, such as the planetarium dome, leaves something to be desired, as they may be prone to damage with frequent use. Educational Value: While the Solar Planetarium System offers valuable educational content, including information about the planets and their characteristics, some users may find the depth of information lacking. Additional details about celestial phenomena, space exploration, and astronomy history could enhance the educational value of the product and provide a more comprehensive learning experience. Final Thoughts: In conclusion, the SMART PICKS Solar Planetarium System is a commendable effort to bring the wonders of the solar system into the home environment. Its engaging features and interactive design make it a valuable educational tool for users of all ages. However, there is room for improvement in terms of assembly complexity, component durability, and the depth of educational content. With some refinements, the Solar Planetarium System has the potential to offer an even more enriching and immersive exploration of the cosmos. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range (Description) | Kid | | Brand | SMART PICKS | | Item Weight | 110 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 18 x 6 x 21 Centimeters | | Size | Mini | | Theme | Space | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** SMART PICKS - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 18 x 6 x 21 Centimeters - **Size:** Mini - **Theme:** Space ## Images ![Solar Planetarium System - Science Kit for Kids Ages 8+ - Assemble, Paint - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618yHIrbqXL.jpg) ![Solar Planetarium System - Science Kit for Kids Ages 8+ - Assemble, Paint - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UYCFFvKOL.jpg) ![Solar Planetarium System - Science Kit for Kids Ages 8+ - Assemble, Paint - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cFeu-DAnL.jpg) ![Solar Planetarium System - Science Kit for Kids Ages 8+ - Assemble, Paint - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DMToKQ7lL.jpg) ![Solar Planetarium System - Science Kit for Kids Ages 8+ - Assemble, Paint - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418GA5NA8CL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How to recharge** A: Its non battery toy **Q: What does it do?** A: Waste of money ..pl don’t buy **Q: Why it's not glowing after using white colour?please somebody help me about how to use glow colour** A: you glow paint ... it will work... **Q: does individual planets rotate on their own axis?** A: No ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great VFM DIY educational product for growing kids .Had a great fun-time with kid assembling it. *by N***A on 15 May 2018* A PREVIEW TO PURCHASE: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx My 6 year old kid is quite obsessed with countries, Flags, Solar system & planets .Hence when I came across this product while online surfing, It just ticked - all the right boxes for a nice little Do-It-yourself educational activity fun.
