Solar System – Magnetic Educational Planet Set with Starry Sky Background

Explore the Solar System through visual and hands-on learning with the Solar System Magnetic Educational Set, designed to help children discover the planets, their order, relative proportions and position within our Solar System.

The set includes removable magnetic models of the planets, the Moon and part of the Sun, allowing children to arrange and rearrange the Solar System while learning through practical interaction.

The large starry sky background creates an engaging visual learning environment and makes the material suitable for classrooms, homeschooling, science lessons and special education.

Learn the order of the planets

Children can practise placing the planets in their correct order from the Sun and learn to recognise each planet by its appearance.

The removable pieces make it possible to repeat the activity in different ways – independently, with an educator or as part of a group lesson.

Children can practise:

• recognising the planets;
• learning planet names;
• arranging planets in order from the Sun;
• comparing the relative sizes of planets;
• identifying the Moon as Earth's natural satellite;
• understanding the basic structure of the Solar System;
• developing introductory astronomy knowledge.

Visualise planet proportions

The different sizes of the planet models help children visually compare the planets and understand their approximate relative proportions.

This makes abstract information easier to perceive and provides a clear starting point for discussions about the enormous differences between planets in our Solar System.

Removable magnetic pieces

The planet models are attached using magnets, allowing them to be easily removed, moved and repositioned.

Educators can remove all or selected planets and ask children to identify them, arrange them in the correct sequence or match them with their names.

This transforms the display into an interactive educational activity rather than a static poster.

Planet name matching

The set includes planet name pieces that can be used for matching and identification activities.

Children can match each name with the corresponding planet, combining astronomy learning with reading, memory and visual recognition.

For a more challenging activity, the planet models and names can be mixed and children can reconstruct the Solar System independently.

Large starry sky background

The set includes two large 80 × 100 cm panels with a starry sky background, creating an impressive space-themed learning area.

The panels provide a clear background for arranging the magnetic Solar System pieces and can be used as an educational classroom display.

Educational benefits

The Solar System set supports the development of:

• basic astronomy knowledge;
• planet recognition;
• understanding the order of the planets;
• visual understanding of relative planet sizes;
• knowledge of the Sun, planets and Moon;
• spatial awareness;
• observation and comparison skills;
• logical thinking;
• memory and concentration;
• vocabulary and reading;
• independent learning;
• curiosity about science and space.

How to use

Begin by introducing the Sun and individual planets. Allow the child to observe their different appearances and sizes.

Remove the planets from the background and ask the child to arrange them in order from the Sun.

Planet names can then be matched with the corresponding models.

For more advanced activities, ask children to compare planet sizes, identify neighbouring planets, locate Earth and its Moon, or discuss differences between individual planets.

The activities can be adapted to the child's age, knowledge and ability.
