Toys and Games Reviews of EarthBall 16" Inflatible Globe
Customer Review: A lot of fun and educational too.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a science buff and want my grandchildren to be at least interested in science if not more deeply involved. So whenever I see a toy that might help ignite or sustain this interest, I'm curious and sometimes yield to the impulse to buy.
EarthBall is a wonderful toy for kids and educational too. Orbis has done a marvelous job of converting a photomosaic of the planet to printed vinyl. The alignment between the printed sections.
The photo detail is surprisngly good. It's far from what you would expect in the pages of National Geographic, but major terrestrial features like deserts, mountains and cultivated areas are visible. You can pick out the Hawaian Islands. Both polar regions are shown. Cleverly they've used luminous ink to print the locations of densely populated areas. It's not super-bright, but it is visible and adds a little something for young minds to absorb.
The EarthBall is durable. My young grandson immediately decided to turn it into an impromptu chair and much to my surprised, it survived.
Overall, it's a fun, worthwhile toy with high play and educational value.
