Toy Review - Solar System in my Room
I thought this was a pretty clever toy by Uncle Milton. The Solar System in my Room made the list of top 12 best selling toys of 2008. It comes with the light-up solar system model (almost like a mobile, but a bit cooler), a CD that walks you through a tour of the solar system, and even a light-pointer you can use to point out each planet and even make meteors and comets streak through the sky.
As educational toys go, or toys in general, this one is a little more expensive than some: about $36 US, but as far as the learning aspect you’ll get from it, I think it’s well worth it. Most of us know Uncle Milton for their ant farms, but their line of solar racers and solar system toys have given them a nice introduction into the market for science toys.
