Perfect

We kept buying the inflatable globes and they all kept popping but this is perfect the kids can still pick it up and look around it but it's good quality so it will last. Happy homeschoolers

We use this so often!!

We love to read about animals, volcanoes, myths from around the world, etc. This globe sits on my son’s nightstand and we reach for it almost every night to see where in the world a creature lives, a volcano is, or where a myth takes places. Love this!

User Friendly

Great size. Doesn't take up a lot of space, can be held by my grandchildren, and carried around. So much better than the 'don't touch' globes I grew up with. It was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you!

It was very small so it was not going to work for us. I returned the globe. The staff was very gracious and I received excellent customer service.

Great!

My kids love watching Let's Go Luna on PBS and it's great being able to show them where the countries are located. Great size.

High quality!

This globe exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful! And even the smaller words are clear and precise. The stand is simple and perfect. As an adult, I have never seen Antarctica as easily as on this globe. My grandson and I are having fun locating different places that we have traveled to or read about.

Learning Globe

My son is learning about the old and new world this year and he like to look up on the globe. We also have a world map but he can use the globe on his desk. He is homeschooled.

Underwhelming

This globe is very generic. Although the graphics are OK, I was disappointed with the flimsy stand it comes with. Its not much better than an inflatable globe, so its not worth the price.

Learn about where we live

This small size is perfect for my small grandchildren to hold and see where we live and places we think are important, such as where we have relatives, where our ancestors and friends came from, etc. Maps are good but kids need to see a global perspective, too.
