The Ultimate Solar System DIY Kit: 9-Piece Multi-Size Foam Ball Set
Blast off into your next creative project with the perfect foundation for a stellar scale model. Whether it’s a high school science fair or a weekend craft session, this set of 9 high-density foam balls provides the variety you need to represent the Sun and its orbiting planets with ease.
Why This Set is a "Space" Essential
-
Diverse Scaling: Includes a range of sizes to help visualize the vast difference between the giant Sun, the gas giants, and the smaller rocky planets.
-
Easy to Customize: The smooth, white surface is ready for acrylic paint, markers, glitter, or decoupage.
-
Craft-Friendly Material: Easily pierceable with skewers or wire for mobile-making, and works perfectly with standard craft glues.
-
Lightweight & Durable: Solid foam construction that won't weigh down your display or crack if dropped.
What’s in the Box?
We’ve curated this set to help you mimic the relative proportions of our celestial neighbors:
| Quantity | Size (Diameter) | Suggested Planet |
| 1 | 12 cm | The Sun (The Centerpiece) |
| 2 | 8 cm & 7 cm | Jupiter & Saturn |
| 2 | 6 cm | Uranus & Neptune |
| 2 | 5 cm | Venus & Earth |
| 2 | 4 cm & 3 cm | Mars, Mercury (or Pluto!) |
Project Ideas
-
The Classic Mobile: Use wire or string to hang your painted planets from a central sun.
-
Diorama Masterpiece: Mount the foam spheres onto a black-painted cardboard base for a 3D "window into space."
-
Atom Models: Not just for space! These varying sizes are perfect for building complex molecular structures for chemistry class.
Important Note: For a smooth finish, we recommend using water-based paints. Solvent-based spray paints can "melt" foam, so always test a small patch first!
