BS My own solar system sun catcher

This window decoration is a craft kit for children aged 6 and up. Kids assemble the eight planets of our solar system by hand and then paint them, choosing the colours themselves. Pre-printed lines make it easy to see the correct order of the planets even before painting.

The set includes 8 planets, a 1 m cord, four 5 ml translucent paints, a brush, a transparent suction cup and instructions. The cord and suction cup let you hang the finished model in a window, where daylight shows off the translucent colours.

The kit suits creative downtime and builds patience and fine motor skills. It also works as a visual learning aid, helping children remember the order of the planets through hands-on play.
