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

 Mostly TINY dot "stars." Wouldn't have purchased had seen box. December 15, 2008
Had I seen the box I wouldn't have purchased this at this price. Included are 5 large stars, 45 small stars, 104 mini stars (which are TINY), 100 micro stars (VERY, VERY tiny), 20 astros, & 460 tiny glow-in-the-dark dot stickers. Many of the stars are just outline shapes which are kind of hard to put up. They also have a small amount of putty that can be used for about 20 stars at the most & a star map (a little booklet). The product iteslf is fine, but I was expecting more plastic stars, and I was expecting them to be the small stars rather than the mini & micro ones. The product is durable and my boys love the stars up in their bedroom. I'd say this is worth $10 rather than the $19 I paid for it.
 My room is awesome! November 29, 2008
My mom got me these stars for a school project. I got some poster puddy separate, and they stayed up. Once we turned the lights out, my ceiling looked beautiful! The glow lasts about 30 min. (maybe more). I also got a guide for arranging the stars in to constellations with it, and it was easy enough. This product is PERFECT for sleepovers! I have no complaints!
Don't stick too well November 26, 2008
There are a lot of items in this box and it takes quite awhile to put them up, but the effect is great. We did not have good luck with the sticky stuff provided and used scrap book glue dots instead, which worked a bit better. Our ceiling has some texture that makes them harder to stick on. If it was really flat, they would probably work ok. The plastic stars work well. The stickers are small and hard to get off the paper to stick on, but they do glow and look like distant stars.
Nice stars! November 16, 2008
I covered my son's room with these stars eight months ago and the stars are still on the ceiling. This box has enough to cover a 14x15 room and I had some stickers left. Its true that the sticky tack that comes with it is not enough but each star really needs a piece the size of a lentil, or even less if its a small star. I did have to use extra sticky tack used to put up posters and it worked great too. The glow in the dark feature is wonderful, it's lots of work to put them up, but the final effect is worth it. I can't leave my sons' room at night!
A Perfect Nightlight! October 9, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought these stars about a month ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of stars included in this pack. It took me over two hours to put them all on my son's ceiling. All of them had a very nice glow and none of them were dull. There are so many stars that it's sufficient enough to be a low-glowing nightlight. My son now looks forward to going to bed when the lights go out so that he can see all the stars as he drifts off to sleep. The manufacturer does not include enough adhesive for the stars. Walmart sells poster putty in the office supply section for $.99, you will only need one. So far, not one star has fallen down and I don't expect them too for a very very long time. EXCELLENT PRODUCT! AWESOME PRODUCT!
