Editorial Review
This Star Explosion kit allows children to create a universe in their own bedrooms. With over 500 glow-in-the-dark adhesive pieces to choose from (including stars of all sizes, comets, asteroids, and spiral galaxies), junior astronomers can create star displays, black-hole effects, and, with the aid of the included star map, actual constellations. There are 364 small (.25-inch to 1.5-inch) star stickers and about 200 larger (1.5-inch to 5.5-inch) plastic shapes that adhere to walls and ceilings with the putty that comes with the set (it's safe to use on most surfaces). The stickers and plastic shapes are made of Glominite, a safety-tested product that stores light. Each time the Glominite shapes are exposed to light, they recharge--so that the glowing keeps on going. --Kathryn Gustafson

Star explosion is right! With this set of glow in the dark stars you could recreate the Milky Way, the Constellations, or just go wild! Tons of fun; for this price you cannot go wrong.

These stars are easy to put up, stick very well with just a tiny bit of putty, and glow wonderfully!!! My son loves them! I would definitely recommend these.

We purchased this kit along with the Wonder Stars kit because my daughter has a huge bedroom to cover. We also added some to the walls (just sprinkled here and there) and put the stickers on her white furniture. It turned out amazing. You really feel like you are in a planetarium. I've read the reviews where people are saying the provided adhesive isn't enough, or it doesn't hold. I've used these exact stars twice before, and I've not had that problem. The adhesive is a molding putty (sort of like working with chewed gum, but far more pleasant). You just need a tiny amount for most of the stars. Some of the bigger ones, or different shaped ones might require a few tiny dabs of material, but you don't need to put chunks of adhesive on them. I think out of all three times I've used them, I've had maybe 2 or 3 stars fall back down. I just put them right back up. Less is more, folks. Anyway, my daughter loves her new room, and can't wait for the lights to go off every night!

Overall an alright product. Too many little stars and not enough big stars. More sticky tack would be appreciated.

I bought these for my 2 & 4 year old grandsons. They love the stars. The 4 year old was so excited when he first got them and couldn't wait to show his cousin.
