 Great alternative for children's globe September 6, 2008
Kari McGhee
I purchased this as an educational tool for my daughters and they love it. It's a great alternative to purchasing an expensive globe for children. This one has everything they need to learn, and best of all they can easily hold it in their hands as they search the globe. It's durable too. I've found it to be thicker than a typical beach ball. I'm very happy with my purchase. Great product.

It's shocking how many people don't know where anything is on the planet. When I was growing up we had maps and globes in every relative's house. That is how I learned geography--I was so incredibly bored at Aunt Zelda's house with no TV or Barbie to play with that I looked at the globe for hours. Most kids are interested in learning, especially if we don't force it, but rather let them discover it.
My son is five and loves this ball. He picks it up, brings it to me, closes his eyes and points to an area, for example Yemen, or Tanzania, or Finland. Then we look it up (encyclopedia, computer, atlas) and find out what they grow, export, make; what the weather is like, the people, government, whatever. I always learn something too. It's a great game but it doesn't feel forced. Try it. Put a globe around and your kids will ask you about it. It's great.
Fun educational toy June 26, 2008

I got this for my 4 year old for Christmas because he loves looking at maps. He liked it. We only had it for a month or so when my 5 year old found a push pin and poked about 25 holes all over it. So.... it's not durable enough for THAT. :)
Fantastic Educational Toy! June 24, 2008
E. Gorden (St. Charles, IL)
This is a must have for all pre-K kids. It makes it easy to explain where countries are they hear about. I find my 3 year old studying it. It is very durable & fun to toss around to. Who said learning can't be fun. This is so much more fun than the traditional stationary globes. If someone wonders where a country, ocean, or continent is we toss (literally) the globe and the learning and fun begins. It is very easy to read and up to date.
