Best glow in the dark stars for a realistic night sky in your room!
I spent too long reading through reviews about glow in the dark stars and planets for my daughter's bedroom. The reviews on Amazon are very conflicting and thus frustrating. So, we ended up buying many different star sets from among the highest rated on Amazon, including Toy Smith, Wonder Stars Super Kit, Glow in the Dark Planets and Stars (from Bewild)and 4M Glow in the Dark Moon and Stars and some other. We have ended up preferring these Milky Way Glow Stickers over all others because they create a more realistic-looking night sky. I've noticed that the price on these stickers fluctuates frequently on Amazon, even going to $12 sometimes. They're totally worth it when they're in the $5 range. $12 is too much, but I would suggest you buy several sets. Also, the Glow in the Dark Planets and Stars (bought from Amazon Marketplace Seller "Bewild") complement this set nicely, if you want to add some variety. Also, the Glow in the Dark 3-D Moon (also from Bewild) is detailed, realistic, and lovely, much better than the ToySmith and 4M moons. (The Uncle Milton Moon in My Room really looks fantastic, but we didn't try it because it was so much more expensive.) I'm not sure why so many people complain about any of the star sets not glowing. That made me reluctant to get any of them. But, actually, all of the sets, all of the above brands, that we bought have glowed. You just have to wait about 30 seconds to a minute after the lights go out for the glow to really kick in (maybe to allow your eyes to adjust). Anyway, these milky way glow stickers are so cool. My daughter's friends who stay over always say "Wow!" in awe-struck voices when the lights go out. We've even started creeping the stars down a bit onto the side walls, kinda like a planetarium. Even if you decide later to add the bigger unnatural stars, these make the larger stars pop, and give depth to the display. In sum, after experiencing all these sets, my 10 year old daughter and I agree that an ideal nighttime sky would start with these smaller stars (and NONE of the huge 4M stars which tend to ruin the effect), and then include some small planets and quazars and such for variety (like the ones we got from Bewild marketplace seller), and get one nice big moon (like Uncle Milton's or the one from Bewild).
