Allow me to begin by saying that I am neither affiliated with the publisher whose product I am reviewing nor am I sponsored by said publisher.
This astronomy learning set for children caught my eye when I was shopping at the MPH bookstore at JB City Square Mall a couple of weeks ago. Published by Parragon, it retails for RM54.90
It comes with a 64-page factivity book, a small torch, a double-sided poster, cutouts of Earth and the Moon, and 4 circular disks with punch outs depicting constellations.
I found it fascinating despite the product being made for kids. The factivity book comes with tons of adorable illustrations with facts for children to learn and activities for them to do. Some pages contain instructions on how to make objects such as a spacecraft with everyday household items while other pages contain stuff that you can doodle on.
The double-sided poster is a wonderful inclusion that complements the book. I am planning to use it to teach children in future outreach sessions about our Solar System. It is an item which I can easily carry about.
Cutouts of the Earth and the Moon are also interesting to have. I can use the small torch provided to explain and demonstrate eclipses. They were thoughtful enough to provide a paper stand for the cutouts which I was quite pleased with.
The 4 punch out disks of constellations are great for showmanship to entertain the kids and lets them remember how to identify certain popular constellations in a fun way. This can be easily done with a piece of paper with some pinholes though. But for the novelty of it, I'd say it's a welcome item.
Overall, I am absolutely satisfied with the product and may get more as prize giveaway for kids in future astro events.
