We bought 2 different solar systems, because my son wants to make a presentation. This one is nice in terms of size and craft fun. If one takes his time and anmalt the planet with love and patience, you need a couple (my son and I) about 2.5 hours. The explanations are all in English, but easy to understand, and often self-explanatory, children should it alone want to do. The size of the planet / sun is beautiful and thus relatively easy to paint. Everything you need is here. What I did not like so much, is the arrangement of the planets on the bars. So the distance of each planet to the sun is not so readily apparent. This is solved better in the other model. For the kids to hang beautiful model, especially if one uses the luminous color and thus the model brings to light up at night.
