They could be cool but:
1. I'm not sure the kids will relate to them as much as they would to familiar planets.
2. I'm not sure whether these could be viewed with sufficient magnification to clearly see it properly.
I want the kids to see something that will blow them away and make them in love with astronomy. Eta Carinae with good resolution is great. Jewel box with low magnification will just look like some dots in the sky...
