Space Exploration STEAM Kit | Build a Solar System Model

This space exploration STEAM kit is a hands on science kit for kids that turns a rainy afternoon into a journey across the solar system. Designed for children aged 5 and up, young astronomers can build and paint a solar system model planetarium, then construct a working space projector for a slide show of space on the bedroom wall.

Children assemble and decorate the planetarium, set up the projector and enjoy the space slide show, then turn their room into a galaxy with a giant solar system poster and a set of glow in the dark stars. Along the way they learn the order of the planets, how our solar system fits together and why people have always looked up and wondered.

A brilliant educational gift for kids who love stars, planets and big questions, it brings science to life through play. A gift that keeps giving, this kit is part craft project, part science lesson and part room makeover. A thoughtful pick for parents, grandparents and family looking to spark curiosity and a love of learning. Chosen and shared to deliver that values cherished by the Australian Museum, Australia's first museum.
