This was easy to put together and has helped our young grandchild to understand where countries are and distances too.

Great first learning globe 🌎 for my 4 year old grandson who is learning about the world.

My 5 year old granddaughter is just becoming aware of different countries in the world. She was enthralled when we got the globe and said 'It is full of wonders' She spent ages trying to read and copy many of the names of the oceans and countries. Although she does not pick it up so often now, we spend a little bit of time finding different countries when she reads their names in her reading books. A really good resource for teaching knowledge of the world.

Fitted together easily. Clear instructions. We liked the magnifying glass to read the country names. My 8 year old grandson loves it.

Strangely Anglesey seems to be missing, so I doubt that it will be popular in Wales. Also, not in the Falkland Islands, as they are namesd Islas Malvinas predominantly. Kashmir is defined as a separate state, so they’ll be a little irritation with their neighbours. I can’t say from memory if any other bits are missing or politically misnamed. A plastic globe that comes in two halves and needs a little force to assemble onto the frame. A little garish, but it amply demonstrates the weird distortion of the Mercator projection- Africa is HUGE. Wish I’d had one as a kid. Not the best, maybe, but an essential minimum.

I always wanted a globe when I was little but we never had one.I got this for my 4.5 year old.We are both enjoying exploring it and I think a globe is a timeless classic.It was easy to put together and its easy to read. Typically we have lost the little magnifying glass already but it wasn't great so no real loss.The colours are a bit bright. Bit garish for my taste really, definitely more of a learning add rather than a display piece.

Good points - The globe is easy to assemble. The instructions are easy to follow, albeit with 1 glaring error on the labelling. The writing on the globe is clear. It's a nice product.Bad point - It uses the Chinese name for islands that China claims in the South China Sea but aren't recognised as Chinese internationally, and certainly not by an English speaking market. In fact the Chinese claim is highly contentious and it feels that a political point is being pushed on the sly.

Unfortunately I recieved this Fun Lites World Globe with some parts missing, otherwise it would have recieved 5 stars, the globe is meant to sit on a plastic round stand which I do not have and also there is a ring which sit between the 2 halves to join them which I am also missing, I was very disappointed as my little boy was looking forward to adding this to his bedroom, had this came with all the parts it would be very easy to assemble and would be a grwat aid in eduction and a nice addition to any room, study or classroom. It has a nice shiny smooth finish and clearly marked labels.
