Thank you so much for your feedback on the Celestial Spheres Kit. We have taken immediate action to address your concerns by pointing out in the description that some activities require students outdoor participation at sunset. Additionally, we emailed you with a non-photocopied version of instructions and have checked other kits in stock to ensure they have proper, readable literature as well. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention so we can service you and future customers better.
