This was Chandler's 3rd Grade Solar System project. We did it completely from scratch. Apparently there are some Solar System Kit's out there, but I had no idea. It wasnt any harder, I dont believe, to just buy separate parts. We bought styrofoam balls and we used wooden Shish-Ka-Bob skewers and some paint that I already had. Ben cut up a diaper box and spray painted it black, and I hot glued the "rings" on saturn, but the rest was completely done by Chandler. He did the painting and the assembling in the order of his choosing. It was kinda optional how you wanted to display them, in order or just around the sun in various "orbits", but he chose to do it in order from the sun.
Great job, Bubba!

This is such a great idea! My kids are really into the solar system right now and I think they could actually do alot of this on their own. (found you guys through the Woo Jr website) Great painting job Chandler!!
