He chose to paint the planets to make the mobile.
This involved wires and wire cutters- which we couldn't find so we went with needlenose which did the job.
In the end, the wires are floppy and he had a hard time getting them all together. So, we are going to come up with an alternate design just as soon we can settle in and stop traveling constantly.Summer is quickly drawing to a close and we are all ready to settle only our schedule is not allowing for it just yet. The soccer coaches are scheduling practices and the fall schedule is resuming even this week. It all happens so fast!

Oh - thank you for posting about this. I hadn't seen Magic School Bus kits before - though we love the books and DVDs! I've added them to our homeschool wishlist!!
We stuck small metal eyes through our planets and then tied string to that and then to the ceiling.. we were out of the invisible stretchy stuff we'd used on the stars, but the effect was the same. :D As long as no one uses the planets for cricket balls they hold up on the eyes.
Thanks Kendra!
Karen...they are nice kits. Simple, but fairly nice anyway.
