Takes time to dry
My grandson loves these! The paints are not as viscous as expected but they worked fine. This was to be a craft during my visit for a 4 and 7 year old. The 7 yo was uninterested as she learned another hobby. The 4 yo couldn’t do them fast enough! He loved every minute! Actually his mom and I had fun also watching his excitement! One thing to note is that it takes time for the paints to dry fully.

Great quality!
Another excellent product by National Geographic! Clear and easy instructions, engaging trivia about the planets, and very good quality of the paints and planets. Plenty of paint to complete the project. Kept my toddler busy for a while.

Love
Love this little set! I bought it for my 4 yr old and he had a blast painting the Dino’s and hanging them all over the house. The suction cups don’t hold the best, but for the price it’s a good set!

Decent kit
This was a present for children aged 7 and 9. They enjoyed the painting and are happy with the result, which is what matters. It took less than an hour for them 2 paint the whole set.From an adult perspective-The colors are a little lack luster on the finished product even in the sun.There are no instructions for opening the paint tubes. We had to poke small holes in order for the paint to come out, but could not find anything mentioning that.It also does not specify if the paint is water soluble.There is one paint brush included, so make sure you have extra on hand if multiple people will be doing this together.The paint stays on skin for a few days even with washing, unless you really scrub or pick it off.

Came with dried paint – TWICE!
My daughter received this item as a gift for her birthday and was very excited to create her own solar system. However the paint arrived completely dry and unusable. We exchanged it for another, and it had the same issue. Very disappointed in the quality of this item.

dino suncatchers
this kit has a good variety with 10 different dinosaurs (no duplicates) and they come with suction cup hooks to hang on the window. the glow-in-the-dark paint was a big draw for us!unfortunately, the included colors are somewhat limited. (all colors are glow-in-the-dark except the 2 metallics)10ml each of blue, orange, yellow6ml each of green, darker orange (listed as red)2 opaque metallics (silver and gold)not much of a problem for us because we have our own colors but it could be limiting if you are buying this kit hoping for more variety. would be better if they replaced the 2 opaque colors with transparent colors that are more suitable for suncatchers.the glow-in-the-dark paint glows well enough but it applies gloppy (like hair gel?) and dries splotchy. the instructions suggest applying a thin layer, but if you do that you’ll end up with lots of bare patches. i put mine on pretty thick and still ended up with bare spots after it dried.these suncatchers are small compared to other suncatchers we’ve purchased from walmart but seem to be on par with most “kits”. i added a photo comparing them next to some of our other suncatchers for reference.another small gripe is the way the paints are sealed you have to actually cut the tip off of the tubes. you end up cutting off so much that its barely a “tip” anymore and the paint comes out in a glob, making it difficult to work with. i even tried piercing the tip with a safety pin but the seal was too thick.overall this kit is a good add-on and we love dinosaurs so we’ll finish the rest but probably with are own paints.

Grandson’s 3 & 5 loved to open the box but got bored after 1 dinosaur each. Colours are good. I finished them so they could hang on the sliding door to catch light

Neat little craft! Comes with a book of facts. We used ours to create sun catchers – but there is also the option to create a hanging solar system.Small tip – I found using a damp cotton bud was easier to apply & mix the paints, instead of using the included paintbrush.
