Awesome
Kiwi kits are the best and this one is particularly awesome. Great activity to work with 5 year old, slightly older child could do it alone. A lot of learning in one box, and the activities take a good amount of time. And the outcome is something you can keep forever.

So fun and a great learning experience!
Did this with my 4 year old. She did need some assistance assembling everything but LOVED it!! This was such a fun project to work on together. This helped us to work on patience and persistence and she felt she proud when she had finished! Putting it together was just as fun as playing with it when it was done. Will definitely be buying more Kiwi Co projects

"Kids are able to do this themselves"
I purchased this as a gift for an 11-year-old family friend. Although I haven't seen the product myself, they each had great things to say about the experience! Here are their words: (child's review): The best part was painting! It was fun to get to put things together and it helped me think about what the planets would actually look like and if I was an astronaut it showed me what it would be like to drink and eat in space. This took about two hours and wasn’t hard but it wasn’t easy. It was just the right amount of difficulty. It was very fun to build the rocket and get to use my imagination. (parent's review): This was a great activity to have my kids learn about space and stay occupied for a couple hours. Kids who can read easily are able to do this themselves. If they need help reading or following directions then parental help is required. All in all this was awesome and very educational :)

FYI about the packaging
The kit itself is great- but it comes looking like a regular kiwi crate, not in an Amazon box. It was intended to be a Christmas present for my daughter but she saw it on the porch and opened it like she does the other Kiwis she gets. So just FYI for those who are trying to be stealthy lol
