4M – Mould & Paint – Solar System

Journey through our cosmic neighbourhood with the 4M Mould & Paint Solar System kit. This astronomical craft set allows children to create their own collection of planet-shaped magnets and badges featuring all celestial bodies in our solar system. The comprehensive kit includes a detailed mould with 10 different planet designs (all eight planets plus the sun and moon), plaster powder, glow-in-the-dark paints, regular paints in various colours, paintbrush, magnets, pins for badges, and detailed instructions. Children begin by mixing plaster and pouring it into the moulds to create perfect planet shapes. Once dry, they paint each celestial body using realistic colours or imaginative designs, with special glow paint adding a magical luminous quality. The finished planets can be attached to refrigerators or magnetic boards using the included magnets, or worn as badges using the pins. This hands-on activity promotes artistic expression, fine motor skills, and understanding of our solar system whilst creating functional decorative items. The Mould & Paint Solar System kit bridges astronomy and art, encouraging children to learn about planetary characteristics whilst expressing creativity. The glow-in-the-dark feature adds extra appeal, making these astronomical creations shine both day and night. Perfect for space enthusiasts who want to combine cosmic knowledge with crafting skills. Suitable for children aged 5 and above, with adult supervision recommended during plaster mixing.
