With Trainee Astronauts you first assemble the launch ramp yourself, exactly as the box announces. Then you decorate the rocket, set it on the pad and let the launch mechanism do its work. The scale on the pad runs from green to red, so you can see how much force you are giving it.
Besides the rocket and the pad there are glow-in-the-dark pieces for laying out your own night sky and solar system in the dark. An illustrated guide and a poster explain what you are doing, from the planets to what pushes a rocket into the air.
The box states from 5 years and promises simple, entertaining activities for getting to know space. Designed and made in Italy; no batteries are needed.
A present for a child who keeps asking how far away the moon is, and a set you will happily sit down beside as a parent for the first launch.
