3d Solar System with wooden planets is an excellent foundational tool for learning about our planetary system.

The solar system 3d model from Andreu Toys comes with a circular base. A child learns about the location of each planet around the Sun and their corresponding orbits. 8 planets, 1 Sun and 1 Moon are manufactured in ways to show proportional differences in size. Moreover, a short instructional guide provides key highlights about each of them. For example, when a solar eclipse occurs and why… Or what is the hottest planet among all?

Educational benefits of 3d Solar System

Have you started looking into the night sky with children to discuss stars, planets, and comets? How can we, adults, explain such a complex concept? As a matter of fact, many children struggle to conceptually grasp something like this, for many years. And even though, children do see cosmic props at their kindergarten or at school. And they do study stars, planets and space. Yet, this interaction with similar educational tools is still minimal.

• By interacting closely and more systematically with the 3d model of planets, children touch these objects and roll them on the board. They associate these wooden balls with illustrations, previously seen in books and videos. And most importantly, children tend to integrate the solar system into open-ended play.
• The activity develops eye-hand coordination, imagination, socialisation, tolerance and confidence (from gained knowledge)
• Interestingly, such educational toys inspire children and spark curiosity to inquire even more about the world around them

3d Solar System as a present

Such cosmic toys typically become family heirlooms. The base and 3d planets, the star and the Moon are made of the best quality solid wood. Thus, they withstand years of play and one can pass it from sibling to sibling. What a beautiful sentimental piece from one’s childhood to keep! Of course, if you are looking for a birthday present or a Christmas gift – it is surely a great choice.
