Create-A-Scene Magnetic Playset - Solar System

For those of you bummed there's no Pluto - there can be. We created Pluto (see picture) and my son is happy with it.Pros: Beautiful vibrant colors and quality. My son loves it and it almost takes my breath away (doesn't take much I guess but it's that beautiful to me).Cons: It's only a quarter of a solar cycle/board. Even the sun is only a quarter big - the lower right fourth. I wish it could open into twice the size so children can see that the planets can actually rotate around the sun and are not in order stagnantly next to it. That was my first impression - what, it's only a quarter.a) I was going to knock off 2 stars for being a quarter size but because my son likes it the way it is, I'm only knocking one.b) I was going to knock off a star for not having Pluto, but we resolved that issue jointly - he's using the Earth's moon for Mercury since Mercury also has craters and is small, and using Mercury as Pluto, and I taped the word Pluto over a leftover piece of magnet to attach to Pluto. You can do this too if you have die-hard Pluto fans like my son.At the end of the day, I would buy it again and recommend it. I give it 5 stars for Sturdiness, Value for Money and Presentation.

These are beautiful!! My 4 year old son loved them immediately!! We are taking him to the planetarium tonight so I bought these and had them rushed so I could give them to him before we went. PERFECT!!The board is magnetic, so the whole thing is self contained, but minutes after receiving them, he put them up on the fridge. The pictures are clear and detailed. They are not proportionate to each other but that's okay with me (and him). It comes with all 8 planets and the Earth Moon, a shuttle, a space station, horse head nebula, a galaxy, a comet, an asteroid, and an astronaut, as well as the magnetic words that belong to each.I truly can't say enough about these. I was considering buying the giant-sized magnets for $15, but these are by far more reasonably sized and they are just stunning. I love space too, so I'm excited to play with them as well! The only thing I will be cautious of is the Earth Moon because it is pretty small (roughly the size of a dime- easily lost or swallowed) and I have a 9 month old daughter who would jump at the chance to eat it. I put the words aside in a baggie so they're not eaten, and I might do the same for the Earth Moon, much to the dismay of my son, I'm sure.Simply put, these are STELLAR. (lol get it? stellar.......... ha)

I loved the size but the paper was very easy to peel off.

My kids, 3 & 8, love this! I love how compact it is, and they can bring it with them in the car.

Bought this for my nephew who loves space and learning about the planets. The manufacturer no longer provides Pluto or a Pluto label. Unfortunately, my nephew has OCPD and is upset there’s a Pluto orbit ring on the board but they didn’t give him the planet or label. The picture on amazon is pretty much accurate but there’s 2 missing magnets now. He still likes this play set but he’s annoyed that he doesn’t have all the planets that were pictured on here.
