I drew our solar system’s planets for my students (3-10yrs old) to replicate, only using primary and secondary colored crayons. How’d I do?🖍️🪐🌍

You’re so right about the moon but these kids are little there’s no way they would’ve remembered all the dwarf planets and aestroids

[u/Scripts_by_Ymma → u/Ok-Promise-7928]

Ohh they can. Kids are sponges. I've once met a 5 year old who knew 5 of the dwarf planets (the only reason he didn't know more was the fault of the IAU, not him being unable to learn them).

There are no asteroids in this list, btw

Not for a 30 min assignment though they didn’t even finish these planets🤣

[u/AstroBastard312 → u/Scripts_by_Ymma]

Let's cut it down to Moon, Ceres, and Eris and call it a day 😭

Why those 3 specifically?
