Astronomy-Based Children's Toys

The ‘Inflatable Solar System Set’ Tangibly Teaches Astronomy

— January 24, 2022 — Social Good
With the ‘Inflatable Solar System Set,’ kids can learn about the planets in a hands-on manner. Through the set, children can recognize each planet based on their physical attributes like their size, colors, patterns, etcetera. The sun and Earth’s moon can also be found to make a more accurate representation of the solar system as we know it.

For more astronomy fun and learning, an activity set is also included as well as a repair kit for the planets in case of damage. The planets are durable and are washable for consistent use. By purchasing the Inflatable Solar System Set on the Learning Resources website, parents, guardians, and educators can turn any room into an “intergalactic experience,” as the description calls it.
