What can you do with an inflatable solar system?
~You can teach about rotation, revolution, and orbit using the great activities in the inclosed teacher's guide. ~You can toss all of the planets onto the floor and see how quickly your children can put them in order. You can line them up and have your children sing or recite the names of the planets as the walk alongside the planets, touch the planets, toss the planets, etc.
~You can ask your child to go pick up (toss, roll, touch, etc.) the planet known for its rings (or the red planet, or the planet we live on, or the planet furthest from the sun, etc.)
~You can hang the sun and planets from the ceiling with the built-in hanging hooks.
~You can just turn your children loose with the planets and watch the creative games they will invent!
~You can use a flashlight to demonstrate eclipses, day and night, seasons, and more. (Instructions included.)
~You can easily deflate and store everything when you are finished.


This is only a tiny sampling of the great projects and activities that you and your children will enjoy with this terrific product. The set includes the sun, the planets, and the Earth's moon; a foot pump (so you can save your breath for all of those fun activities!), and a terrific teacher's guide. The planets are made from heavy duty vinyl and have stood up to our 6 children without popping or leaks, although a repair patch is included "just in case." The very realistic planets are proprotional in size and range from 8" to 22" with a great big 36" sun.
