Great Explorations: Wonder Stars Super Kit, Glow In The Dark Ceiling Stars. 150 Pieces In 4 Sizes Reusable Sizes
You are the sort of person who, when the lights go out, notices the ceiling. Most people ignore ceilings the way they ignore salad forks, but you don’t. You have ambitions for your nocturnal sky that fall somewhere between a planetarium and the home of someone who keeps a suspicious number of houseplants alive. This kit hands you 150 tiny stars, sticky putty, and a chart that will let you stage the cosmos on your walls and ceiling — with just enough whimsy to make you feel like a competent child again and just enough practicality to keep your partner from rolling their eyes for more than three minutes.
What’s included in the kit
- 150 glow-in-the-dark plastic stars in four sizes (so the small ones won’t feel neglected)
- Reusable adhesive putty — you can move the solar system around when you change your mind (or when someone grazes the wall with a backpack)
- A constellation chart that actually helps you place things where they belong, instead of scattering stars like glitter after a craft night
Why you’ll like it
You’ll like it because it turns the banal into the magical without requiring you to learn astrophysics. The stars use Great Explorations’ proprietary Glominite formula, which means they glow longer and brighter than the sad stickers you may have inherited from a cereal box. You’ll be able to lie in bed and watch your ceiling perform like a tiny, personal Mila Kunis of the night sky — luminous, ever so slightly dramatic, and perfectly at home in pajama clothing.
This kit is ideal for:
- Bedrooms where bedtime used to be a fight and now becomes a soft ritual
- Classrooms and playrooms where you need something that’s educational and not an interpretive dance
- Adults who enjoy creating small realms of control in an otherwise chaotic apartment
- Kids who want to learn constellations without the pressure of college admissions
How to use it (yes, it’s simple)
- Open the box. You will be pleased with the smell of nostalgic plastic.
- Use the chart to plan a constellation or scatter the stars like a free-spirited artist. Either option is valid. You are the curator.
- Take a small blob of adhesive putty, press it on the back of a star, then press the star onto the ceiling or wall. The putty is reusable, so if you place Orion’s belt over the light fixture, you can move it later without guilt.
- Turn off the lights and watch the room fill with a steady, comforting glow. If the stars are too bright for your midnight reading, you have permission to pare things down.

A few benefits you might not expect
- It turns routine bedtime into something less like negotiation and more like ritual. Children who were previously motivated by the raucous energy of electronic devices often pause when confronted with a calm, luminous ceiling.
- You will become the person who knows where Ursa Major lives. People in your life will be impressed in a way that feels unfair.
- Teachers can use the kit as an inexpensive prop for constellation lessons. It’s less terrifying than a slideshow and more fun than a quiz.
Safety and care
The stars are made from plastic infused with the Glominite glow additive. They are designed to be non-toxic, but they are not food. If you have toddlers or pets who interpret wall decorations as a culinary challenge, place the stars out of reach. The adhesive putty can be pressed off and reused; if it picks up dust, simply replace it with a fresh piece from the kit or clean small amounts off with a gentle, damp cloth. Avoid placing stars on freshly painted surfaces — your landlord may frown.
FAQs
Q: How long do the stars glow? A: After exposure to natural or artificial light, they glow for several hours. The Glominite formula holds brightness well into the evening. You’ll have to get out of bed early to catch them before they dim.
Q: Can the stars be removed without damaging paint? A: Yes. The included adhesive putty is designed to be removable and reusable. If your paint is exceptionally fragile (or you live in the historical district of over-cautiousness), test one star in an inconspicuous place.
Q: Are these suitable for classrooms? A: Absolutely. Teachers will like the durability and the fact that the kit includes a constellation chart that can be used as an impromptu lesson plan.
Q: What if you arrange the solar system wrong? A: Then you’ve made art. There is no wrong constellation if you can explain it confidently. (You are allowed to name it after your deceased cactus.)
For whom this isn’t
If you are determined to host a 24-hour rave in your bedroom with strobe lights and fog machines, this kit will not meet your needs. It is designed for calm, starry moods and not for competitive nightlife. If you require medically-approved phototherapy, consult a professional — these stars are decorative, not clinical.
A practical note on placement
Place larger stars in clustered formations to mimic star fields, and use the tiny stars to suggest depth and distance. The variety of sizes makes it easy to go from a textbook rendition of the night sky to something more romantic — or more accurately, more of your grandmother’s attic had a star in the 1950s than you remembered, and now you’re paying homage.
Returns, shipping, and satisfaction
You get 150 pieces, reusable putty, and, if you use the included constellation chart, a way to talk about the stars that sounds educated. If the kit arrives defective, most retailers will accept a return within their posted window. Check the seller’s page for specifics; policies vary, and you probably know that by now because you have returned things online before at 1 a.m. while wearing a sweater.
You have permission to create a ceiling you can lose yourself in, to teach a child where the stars live, or to stage a small-scale cosmos for the purposes of making your apartment feel less like an adult’s tax return and more like a nocturnal refuge. This kit is practical, a little theatrical, and honest about being plastic. It is also, quietly, a vehicle for the sort of small joy you can keep rearranging until the mood changes — which it inevitably will, because that is what rooms do.

Great Explorations: Wonder Stars Super Kit, Glow In The Dark Ceiling Stars. 150 Pieces In 4 Sizes Reusable Sizes
You know that moment when the lights go out and your ceiling looks like the aftermath of an office fluorescent bulb euthanasia? This kit is your antidote. The Great Explorations: Wonder Stars Super Kit gives you 150 glow-in-the-dark stars in four sizes, enough to stage a small, tasteful coup against beige plaster and municipal boredom. It comes with adhesive putty and a constellation chart, so you can scatter stars with the wild abandon of someone who has never been appointed to anything important — and then pretend you arranged them with academic intention.
What you get and why it matters
Inside the box you’ll find 150 stars made from plastic that soak up light and then put on a quiet, persistent light show. The patented Glominite formula is responsible for the glow — and they claim these stars out-glow the others. Which you’ll appreciate when you’re lying in bed at 2 a.m. trying to decide whether you’ve made Orion malevolent-looking or just ambitious. The kit also includes adhesive putty: a sticky little lifeline for anyone who has learned the hard way that tape and ceilings do not mix. There’s also a constellation chart so you can either copy the sky accurately or invent an entirely new celestial order dominated by the House of Dog Sweaters.
Why you’ll like working with it
You won’t need to be an artist or a NASA intern. The stars adhere easily, are reusable, and come in multiple sizes so your starfield won’t resemble a kindergarten sticker explosion. You can use them on ceilings, walls, inside closets, above a reading nook, or even on the reverse side of a lampshade if you’re feeling theatrical. They’re perfect if you’re trying to coax a child into staying in bed, staging a romantic gesture that’s just nerdy enough to be memorable, or giving your classroom a nighttime personality that doesn’t require a budget meeting.
You’ll notice how quietly triumphant you feel when someone says, “Is that a constellation?” and you answer, “Oh, yes — I arranged it myself.” It’s a small social credit score increase that comes from doing something creative without having to field a group text.
How to use the kit (simple, not mystical)
- Turn on the lights. Let the stars charge for a while; the Glominite formula prefers company.
- Stick the putty to the back of a star and press the star onto a clean, dry surface. Patience matters less than staying steady.
- Use the constellation chart for reference, or ignore it and make patterns that honor family pets, favorite shoes, or the letter “S.”
- To remove, gently pull and reapply the putty for another arrangement. The stars are reusable, meaning you can be ambitious tonight and indecisive tomorrow.
You’ll appreciate the putty when you remember the time you tried to use double-sided tape and ended your ceiling’s paint career early.
Care, reuse, and longevity
The stars are resilient. Clean the surface before application for the best stick and avoid humid spots where adhesive putty might sulk. If a star loses its luster, try exposing it to bright light for a bit longer. The Glominite formula performs best when charged by an active light source — natural daylight works, as does your sad desk lamp when you’re pretending to read.
When you remove a star, fold the putty back onto itself so it keeps its handiness. Store unused putty in a little container to prevent dust becoming a permanent decoration.
Safety and suitability
- Non-toxic plastic stars and child-safe adhesive putty.
- Ideal for bedrooms, classrooms, playrooms, and imaginative adults with wall space.
- Not designed to be submerged in water or left against extremely damp surfaces.
- Small parts: keep an eye on toddlers who treat everything like an audition for Gumball Machine Opera.
Perfect for
- Parents who want a quick enchantment solution without committing to repainting the house.
- Teachers aiming to introduce constellations without turning the class into a DIY OSHA seminar.
- Gift-givers who prefer presents that produce delighted shrieks instead of confused politeness.
- Anyone who enjoys lying on the floor and narrating an imaginary celestial history to an unflappable stuffed animal.

A little honesty about the glow
You’ll learn quickly how addictive the glow can be. There’s a particular type of quiet about a room with soft, cool-green stars above it. It makes ordinary tasks feel slightly more important: folding socks becomes the sort of ritual that might have been observed by a forgotten civilization. You might find yourself switching the ceiling lights off earlier than you used to, simply to watch the stars assert their subtle authority.
Troubleshooting and tips
If a star won’t stick, the surface might be greasy, dusty, or suffering from previous life choices (like a paint job from 1998). Clean it thoroughly and try again. If the stars don’t glow as long as you hoped, give them more exposure to bright light. If someone in your household objects to the aesthetic, show them the constellation chart and ask, with infinite patience, whether they prefer “Nocturnal Minimalism” or “Galaxy With Ambition.” This usually distracts them long enough for you to place another star.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Are these safe for kids?
A: Yes. The materials are child-friendly. Supervision is recommended for very small children because the stars are small.
Q: Can you remove the stars without damaging the ceiling?
A: Yes, if you use the putty correctly and don’t use industrial methods like knives.
Q: How long does the glow last?
A: The Glominite formula provides a durable glow after sufficient light exposure. Longevity depends on charging conditions and usage.
Q: Are the stars reusable?
A: Yes. Both the stars and the adhesive putty are reusable when handled with a minimal amount of care and a maximum amount of intention.
Why this kit, instead of an app?
Apps are wonderful for telling you what to do with your life in 140 characters or fewer. These stars are tangible. They let you rearrange your environment the way you rearrange your feelings after reading a letter from an old friend: slowly and with careful placement. There’s a particular satisfaction in physically sticking a star where you want it and then lying down to admire the result, as if you’ve appointed yourself the royal cartographer of your own small sky.
If you’re ready to give a ceiling some personality without inviting a paint contractor or a committee, this kit is a charming, low-stakes way to proceed. You’ll be amazed at how quickly a few hundred tiny plastic points of light can turn a room from “functional” into “occasionally transcendental.”
