Learning ResourcesGiant Inflatable Solar System - Grades K+ Solar System Demonstration Tool, Solar System Model, Inflatable Planets for Classroom

My grandson is 5 and he is all about planets!He was soooooo excited about these. He saw them and wanted them for so long. It’s the only gift he has asked for over and over for at least a year. His face lit up when he saw them.

I purchased this inflatable solar system set as a gift for my son who’s shown interest in space recently. He has some small astronaut toys and a space ship and he was asking for planets to go along with them. The set arrived nicely packaged with each planet being neatly folded and individually wrapped (see attached pictures.) Each planet also came with its own repair patch. The set has all the planets, including Pluto, the sun (which is ENORMOUS) and Earth’s moon. All the planets are much larger than I expected. I didn’t realize when I ordered, but a manual pump is also included. I was thrilled when I realized I wouldn’t have to blow everything up by mouth. Another surprise was that each planet has two small circular spots near the inflation port, so the planets can be hung up with string or thread. The colors and designs of the planets are bright and vivid. The plastic used feels more substantial than other cheap plastic blow up items. The only issue I found was that not all of the planets are self sealing after being blown up. So once you inflate the planet you have to do the old switch-a-roo to your finger then close the plug quickly before any air escapes. It’s not that big of a deal, but some do self seal and others don’t. All in all my son is thrilled with his gift and it’s definitely a great value for the money.

These are great! My son absolutely loves them. They’ve held air with no issues for over a month now. They look great. It comes with a pump, but if you have an electric one…use it. These things are MASSIVE. I know it says “giant” but you never know what to expect when ordering online. They are indeed giant. The sun is even bigger than those giant bouncy balls in the cage in Walmart. Airing up the smaller planets was a nice break. I did have a little difficulty getting the plugs in on the smaller ones without a bunch of air coming out. But that’s possibly a me issue tbh.

Only received 10 out of the 11 planets. Products look good and grandson was enjoying them until Jupiter was missing. Contacted Amazon to replace planets so he will have to wait another day or so to have the whole set of planets.

Purchased to use in preschool to go with hallway space theme. Worked great hanging them from ceiling for a solar system model. Would definitely purchase again!

This solar system set of inflatables is beautiful and accurately colored. My five year old grandson is “ over the moon” which is also accurate. He’s thrilled and so am I. Yes, it’s a little pricey but so worth it. All the planets , the sun ,the moon and Pluto are included . It’s wonderful .

Overall these are decent, the quality is pretty close to the standard beach ball. However, the fill nozzles are incredibly small, and take ages to inflate. The pump is practically worthless.3 stars because my son really likes them.

Look good as party decor
