[Crabb, Sonia]

 Hi
Sorry not as tempting but this is the one I have used in the past

 Mustard seed  Mercury  
Pea  Venus  
Small marshmallow Earth 
Peppercorn  Mars 
Small grapefruit  Jupiter 
Orange or small apple  Saturn 
Large cherry tomato  Uranus 
Small cherry tomato  Neptune 
Add a large pumpkin or watermelon (a round one if possible) to represent
the Sun.

distances
Poppy seed (Mercury)  12 paces  
Pea (Venus)  23 paces  
Pea (Earth)  32 paces  
Lentil (Mars) 49 paces  
Squash ball (Jupiter)  167 paces  
Table tennis ball (Saturn)  300 paces  
Marble (Uranus)  600 paces 
Marble (Neptune)  900 paces  
Poppy seed (Pluto)  1270 paces  
    
Then ask what is in the gaps ?

Does anyone have some malteasers to hand? If so, can you please measure
the diameter (all the way across) for me?  I want to create a scale
model of the earth, sun and moon using edible items - but I haven't
bought my chocolate bits home! (too much temptation). 

Kind regards,
Abigail Hawkins
