Description
Parents and educators know the value of supporting childhood education with hands-on visual aids. When it comes to learning about Earth’s geography, no illustration is as effective as a realistic, round earth globe. Unlike a flat map, it can be spun, handled and analyzed in 3D detail, letting children experience the wonders of science through active involvement.Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
My student loves this globe. It is tilted like most globes and spins with ease. What really sealed the deal for my student was its abiity to be illuminated. The bulb is already inside and you just need to add batteries. It is a great addition to your student's virtual classroom in your home during this pandemic. Please note that it is plastic, but appeares to be manufactured well. We've had it for a few months now with no issues.
A smaller than standard globe that is very well marked, easy to read, and dont have to plug in. I love brightly colored countries making it easy to see their size and borders. I was also surprised at how perfectly even this globe lights up, you don"t have to get a flash light
For a small size , this globe is well marked, easy to read, not overly detailed, and the bright colors really help you see the size and borders of the different countries. I love how evenly it illuminates, and how I can use it in a dark room. the only neg. I would say, is that you will need a very small phillips head screwdriver to put in the batteries!
My grandson was studying maps and globes in Kindergarten and he added 'Globe' to his birthday gift list. He was blown over when he saw this, but when it lit up, wow!!! It's a perfect size for a younger child who just wants to see the earth in round and to start studying what is on a globe overall. It's small but fits perfectly on his desk. He really feels like a 'big boy' when he sits at his desk and explores the world on his globe. Nice product.
We absolutely love this little globe. The package says ages 8+, but it's perfect for our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter! Clearly printed countries, states, cities, light enough for her to carry around, stable base (does not topple over ever), small enough to fit on dresser, small table, in tent, anywhere! And is illuminated! She knew it was the "planet Earth" as soon as she saw it (learned it in nursery school!), so we all were very thrilled and thought the timing was perfect. A great little 'starter' globe - bought it with the new book "Where We Are" - a perfect combo for a perfect stage of development. Highly recommended!!!!
The globe is great. Lovely illumination
