Solar System Model Kit

The Solar System Model Kit is a moving wooden orrery you build and paint yourself. Assemble the laser-cut wooden structure, paint the foam planets and rotate the model to see how the planets are arranged around the Sun. It is a more substantial project for older kids, teens and families.

Key features

• Laser-cut wooden pieces build a working solar system model
• Paint the included foam spheres to make your planets
• Rotate the model to explore planetary arrangement
• Combines engineering, space science and painting
• Finished orrery makes a desk, shelf or classroom display

In the box

• Laser-cut wooden pieces
• Foam spheres for the planets

Painting each planet gives builders a reason to look up what the planets really look like, and rotating the finished orrery makes their order easy to remember. A good fit for space-themed classroom units and anyone who enjoys making. See more science kits.
