A fan puzzle of the solar system with each planet shown in cutaway, so fanning the pieces open reveals the interior layers of the Sun and planets rather than their surfaces. It joins the fine-motor work of the fan format with a first look at what the bodies are made of.
An instant printable digital download, formatted for A4 and US Letter. Print, cut, and fasten the pieces at one corner to assemble.
Drawn from the
real animal.
The same hand-drawn look across the whole collection — verified against the real species, animal by animal.
“Before an animal becomes part of a printable, it begins with paper, pencil and careful observation.”
Every illustration begins with close observation of the real species. Shape, posture, markings and expression are developed individually, rather than assembled from a standard template.
The result is a softer, more natural image with the small irregularities and visible texture that give hand-drawn work its character.
Often
asked.
Each planet piece shows its interior layers, so fanning the puzzle exposes what the bodies are made of beneath the surface.
Cutaway views let children see cores, mantles, and atmospheres, moving from what a planet looks like to what a planet is made of.
It joins the fine-motor act of fanning pieces with early earth-science vocabulary about planetary structure.
Children who already know the planets by appearance and are ready to explore their internal layers.
