An easy and joyful make! The pattern includes all the details to make the planets (+ Pluto the beloved dwarf planet) as well as instructions to hang the planets in a spiral for a mobile or in a line for decorative/educational purposes.
The planets are designed to be very roughly to scale, meaning the size difference between the four terrestrial planets + Jupiter is vast. Please read the safety notice if making tiny planets for small children and THEN enjoy your expedition into our galactic neighbourhood!
The finished collection of planets can be hung as a baby mobile, or used as an educational tool. If made jumbo sized using oversized yarn, they could even make gorgeous cushions for a child’s playroom!
