 plastic would have been better than cardboard, BUT.... April 28, 2010
Bmommy (Midwest, USA)
we still absolutely LOVE this glow-in-the-dark planets and stars kit, along with the Glow Moon and Stars that we also purchased from Amazon. We put the moon and stars on the ceiling, and the planets along the wall.
For a child who was very afraid of the dark, this made bedtime go MUCH smoother, and way more fun.
A couple tips:
1) When you start getting the kids ready for bed, put their bedroom light on so you can get the planets, moon, and stars "charged up" with the light. 5-10 minutes is all they need.
2) After lights, we sit on the bed together and enjoy the beautiful night sky.
We keep a flashlight (the kind that plugs into the wall to charge) Dorcy 41-1045 5MM LED Rechargeable Flashlight with Built-In AC Adaptor in the kids bedroom, and when the stars start to fade out, we use the flashlight to brighten a few of them up. (you can do this while still sitting on the bed). It's a fun way to wrap up the night. This helped them learn the planets because we'd brighten one up with the flashlight so it would glow, and then talk about which planet it was, what made it different from the other planets, etc.
We've also given these as gifts to other kids, and they've been a real hit.
 stars glow but planets not so much March 21, 2010

The planets are colorful but don't really glow much. The stars work better for that purpose. The planets are "pretty" but it's thin cardboard material and they aren't really big (think softball size down to golf ball). The sticky stuff that comes w/ it is in short supply but I found that you can use a teeny amount and it sticks well enough.
 Lots of glowing January 23, 2010

I bought this fearing they won't glow as much as I wanted them to, and they are great! I wish I had bought more, actually. The stars and planets do glow in the dark and they make nice decoration for a room. Love them.
Fun, nice and easy to install July 7, 2009

As expected stars and planets were well received by my child, he did complain and it is a minor issue, that the planets were not glowing, they actually do, but the starts glow so much more that they blind out the planet's glow. Don't place stars too close to the planets, this will help a bit. It'd be good if the company checks if they can make the planets glow a bit more.

These Planets & Stars were bought to entice my preschooler into his room at night.There were 9 planets and 21 stars, both in different sizes. I thought that the planets would be plastic like the stars, but they were not - they were cardboard with the colored planet coated in areas with the glow in the dark substance. This was not what I was looking for. Also, the kit came with adhesive putty to stick the planets and stars to the wall - not what I was expecting, I was anticipating more of a plastic, stick on star/planet. The positives of this product is that it is cheap for the number of pieces you receive. This kit wasn't bad (especially for the price) but just was not what I was looking for.
