This package of planets was a great gift choice for my soon-to-be-5-year-old. He's been interested in planets since he saw Baby Einstein's Baby Galileo and he went NUTS when he opened the package and these planets were inside! We didn't hang them up--we let our son arrange them on the floor and roll them around the "sun" (an orange) in their orbits. He easily recognized each planet and named them, although the ring around Saturn tends to slip off and causes a little confusion.

I thought this would be a great thing for my son's room, but putting it together is a MAJOR PAIN! You have to string and hang each planet individually...free form on your ceiling. So...you have to stand on a ladder, with a chart of the planets positions and hang them, while looking at a chart...and looking at the ceiling. Stringing them is even more fun...the line is thin and tangles easily. It's a good idea...but the product itself is not very good! Sorry to write such a bad review, but I feel a bit ripped off! The worst part, is my son could not participate in putting it together because it was such a hassle.

First time I have posted a review, but this product is so terrible I had too! String to hang it coiled almost beyond use, one of the hanging clips was missing entirely from the planet and made hanging these planets impossible, no labels for which planet is which. Sadly, best use of this product is filling a landfill.
