    Durable vividly colored adorable planets
    I purchased these for my classroom. Honestly, I’m picky. I wanted something close to scale, with the Sun and Earth’s moon… and if you’re going to give me Pluto… where are the other dwarf planets (Eris, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake)? There’s just not a market for a product like that. But my classroom is bright and colorful… and these would fit right in. When I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised! The gas planets are much larger than I expected. You do have to snap the larger planets together (see my pic of how they appear in the packaging). OK, so Uranus and Neptune don’t have rings. So, they aren’t 100% accurate… BUT… these things are well-constructed and they come with everything you need to hang them (see my pic… there is putty, clear nylon string, clear star shaped push pins, and little planet labels). They even give you a little guide and a sheet of glow in the dark stickers. These things are super cute! And I can’t wait to put them up and have my students comment on them. I absolutely LOVE them!
