 This process usually takes approximately five minutes. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before play.

As far as making it into the Earth that is up to you and your children’s ages. If you have older children maybe they can make their own Earth model with the help of a picture. If you have younger children you can make the Earth up for them ahead of time, so it is ready to be explored.
