4M: Green Science - Solar System Toy

It took my kids and me about an hour to assemble, but once we switched it to solar mode and set it by the window, the whole thing slowly started rotating on its own—they were genuinely amazed. I like that it works with a battery too, so it’s still fun on cloudy days.

My son was thrilled to see the planets orbit when we connected it to a sunny window. The solar panel really works, no batteries needed for the main movement. A fun way to learn about our solar system.

The planets are colorful and the solar panel is a nice touch, but the model feels a bit flimsy and the motor struggled to move everything smoothly. It works okay with batteries, though.
