Learning Resources Solar System Puzzle Globe, STEM Toys for Kids, Space Décor, Educational Toy, 21 Pieces, Age 3+, Multicolor (LER3320)

My 3 year old loves planets and he’s obsessed with this he got for Christmas. It’s such a good idea and so interactive for him and he sits for hours taking them in and out and putting the names on them all

I got this for my daughter to get to know our solar system! She absolutely loves it! She likes putting the planets together with their name tags, she finds it incredibly fulfilling when she manages to put each planet where it belongs (ie matching planet to slot on globe) and she also learns the order of the planetary system relative to the Sun! Now, if only this thing could glow in the dark! Oh, but hold on, it does!!!

So when I first opened this I did not tell my kids how to use it. They slowly figured out that each planet had its own shape and corresponding shape on the globe. They also noticed that the words matched the colour of the plant. (there are different shades of the same colour so they'll need to pay attention) it's Brough several hours of fun. They do it each and it lives on side table in livingroom. Every so often one of them will come and start talking about the planets, sizes, colours and ask why they are different. It is a good way to get kids to learn and ask questions. We are very happy with this learning toy. It isn't too heavy either. The only downside is the little star stickers are already peeling away. Glow in the dark would of been an incredible addition to it but sadly it does not have it. The stars do not affect the planets or the purpose of the toy itself so I couldn't knock any stars off.

This is a well built robust toy in bright colors that will appeal to the age group. But choose it with a little care, its not ideal for everyone. It is an educational toy that will demand you take time and effort to play with your child and explain the steps along the way. It is quite demanding of fine motor skills and requires at least the level of children building with Lego (not Duplo) actually getting the pieces to fit the holes requires some concentration, and you might need to prompt and guide the child when they have the right match. Once seated the pieces stay on place well whilst you move to the next. One of the challenges is that the solar system looks nothing like any solar map that you might have seen before. Each of the planets will appear to be the same distance from the sun and I would suggest that laying out a map of the solar system and matching each planet to the map would make this a little easier to understand. Once your child has grasped it, they will enjoy putting it together and once they have moved beyond the hand-eye feature it has potential as a nice globe to hand in a bedroom with glowing stars, or as part of imaginative play with rockets and "Buzz Lightyear" - It's honestly not something for every child, but if your child (and you) are motivated it is a useful shared experience

It’s all very well made and feels good quality. I got it for my daughter who has just turned three and she has really taken to it. I’m a space fan and it was my chance to inject some for my daughter and after a couple of weeks she has used it maybe a dozen times and finished all of it as well and can now name most of the planets when questioned. The planets all have different shaped holes to go in so they only fit in their own space and there are separate labels for each planet and the sun as well although these all have the same curved shape so they fit in all of them and as she can’t read yet need some help with those, it’s a good chance to learnt the names. There is also an astronaut and a rocket that fit into the centre of the name badge hole so they can land on each planet. There is some accuracy as well with the planets all in the correct order and the sizing tries to show the differences in a subtle way which is impossible to do really with the vast differences. When it’s finished my daughter likes to keep it in her shelf as a globe and will spin it and tell us that’s where we live pointing to earth. It’s not cheap but it’s a good learning tool and it’s gone down well in our house.

This rotating globe map of our Solar System looks to be a fun and entertaining way for young children to learn the names and the sequence of planets, topped by a large representation of the Sun. It seems well-made and fairly sturdy - although in my experience very little is 100% childproof - and consists of the rotating space globe, push-in planets and two small figures for the base; an astronaut and a rocketship. The planets have bright colours and anyone familiar with them will probably be able to identify most by sight and size (they are not to scale but still manage show which planets are larger and which are smaller). Each planet fits into its own hole, these being different shaped. You will need to ensure they are right side up in order that the planet labels can be inserted the right way up. These planet labels can fit any of the planets, so this is where the real learning comes in. I'm always in favour of activity toys that encourage genuine learning, and I think this incorporate learning and play well, in a well-made toy.

Stars had fallen off within the packaging so they were no longer useable due to losing its stickiness. Otherwise my son enjoys the individual planets

Quite a large educational toy. Despite being that, an educational toy, children will love yo play with it and forget that they're learning. It comes in a large, branded box. The toy is a large sphere made out of plastic. Different bits xan get attached to this. These pieces are in different colours and have the names of the planets on the Solar System. Children will quickly and easily learn the names of the planets with this toy. When the lights turn off, the toy becomes glow in the dark which looks great. I do find this toy to be a tad expensive but will definitely be a success in teaching young children about the planets.

Se lo han regalaron para Reyes a mi hijo de 35 meses y está encantado, es muy adecuados a su edad,, además vale como decoración en su dormitorio, además es muy manejable y educativo, estoy súper contenta con el regalo, todo un acierto, lo volvería a comprar sin pensarlo.

My 3 year old niece loves this and is learning so much!!

En una excelente opción para aprender jugando.

Good quality just as stated

Der Globus sowie alle Bestandteile sind aus Plastik gefertigt. Die Qualität ist sehr gut. Die Planeten sind mit verschiedenen Formen zum Stecken versehen und müssen auf den Globus an ihren richtigen Platz gesetzt werden. Die Namen sind farblich passend zu den Planeten gekennzeichnet. Leider sind diese nur auf Englisch. Bei der Zuordnung der Planetennamen braucht das Kind je nach Alter schon noch Hilfe. Ich finde es etwas ungünstig gemacht, dass die Namen oft auf den Kopf stehen. Man kann sie zwar anders herum nochmal stecken, ich finde aber dass das demotiviert. Ein Astronaut und eine Rakete sind auch dabei und können sowohl festgesteckt werden, als auch zum Spielen genutzt werden. Im Dunkeln hat der Globus einzelne leuchtende Elemente. Ingesamt ist es ein ganz nettes Lernspielzeug.
