Discovering the Solar System
A luminous and rotating educational board that makes learning about space tangible and engaging.
Inspired by the actual movement of planets around the Sun, this board allows children to manipulate, observe, and understand the organization of the solar system through a visual and interactive experience.
How to use the board in class or at home
The child begins by reconstructing the solar system by placing the Sun and planets in the correct locations. The rotating elements allow them to observe and understand the movement around the Sun.
They can then match the names to the planets using the word labels and the poster, reinforcing the connection between images and vocabulary.
Using the cards and acrylic letters, the child works on vocabulary and writing by forming words related to space.
The evolving cards allow for challenges adapted to the child's level, asking them to reposition elements according to a model.
The board can also be used for free exploration, where the child manipulates elements, observes movements, and invents their own scenarios.
