Toys and Games Reviews of Learning Resources 12-Inch Inflatable Globe
Customer Review: Inflatable Globe
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well made product. It reminds you of a beach ball but when it arrives you find it is much thicker and more durable than most beach balls. Also, if you are the least bit worried about the print being unclear and hard to read because it's stamped on an inflatable globe, don't be. It's clear as a bell and a wonderful learning tool for little ones. My 4 year old was asking me questions that would be SO much easier to answer if I had a globe yet, I didn't want to sink a ton of money into a fancy globe. Also, he's not old enough to have interest in it EVERY day so this was the PERFECT solution.Customer Review: For Adults, Too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought an inflatable globe about 4 years ago for my then college freshman son. Little did I know he would LOVE the globe so much. He kept it all through college until a pet put a hole in it. I've been looking for a replacement for 2 years - he is out of college now but since he has traveled to many countries and his major is International Studies, I wanted to get another one. I finally saw this one on Amazon -thanks for carrying this item! So....I think this is a great gift for anyone in college (or out) who loves to travel or is interested in the "international scene".Customer Review: 12-Inflatable Globe

Absolutely you can't buy a better globe for the money. It's tough, like everyone else has said. Clear, bright geography, and about the size of a basketball (maybe a little smaller). As far as fun it's about as fun as a beach ball, but I won't let my kids use it like that. I bought it for the geographical information only. My kids came from China and I wanted them to get a good idea where their birth country is in relation to the Unites States. Very educational and more practical then a globe in a stand. Very easy to take anyplace you might want to take it.Customer Review: Excellent alternative to a standard globe
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought several of these for use at our church. They are an excellent alternative to a standard globe. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on regular globes, and we don't have a lot of room to store them. These globes can be deflated and easily stored when they're not in use. Also, if you are using them in a classroom, and you want a child to identify a country on the globe, you can simple throw it to them. Believe it or not, we didn't have any trouble with the kids getting rambunctious with it, but it did keep their interest.Customer Review: Geographically Incorrect
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this blow up globe for our infant son, so we aren't too tremendously concerned about the fact that the names of countries are inaccurately printed on this globe!!! All the country names are printed approximately 1/2" above the territory. If you plan on using this globe as anything other than a earth-decorated beach ball (such as in a classroom setting or to teach your kids geography?!) this is not the globe for you. By the time our infant understands how to use a globe, we will have moved onto a bigger, better globe.
