Inflatable Global World Globe 38cm,Explore The World,Educational Geographic for School,Play and Educational Games

My 3 year old likes it. Bought as a stocking filler. It's been good to show her which the countries and continents are. Doubles up as a ball we play catch with then you can deflate if you want to put it away for a bit.

Came with a Hole in. Doesn’t inflate. Cheap product that is not worth the money.

Good quality. Just what I wanted.

Took a while to inflate but did the job as an activity with primary children.

It's OK, but not great. It does the job which was to visualise aircraft tracks as great circle routes and why they look like curved on a flat map. It is good for showing the actual size of countries compared to the way they are shown on a flat map or an atlas. For instance, you can easily see that Greenland isn't actually the same size as South America, which is how it usually depicted. I'm not sure why there are comments about inflation, unless this is the perennial problem of many Amazon listings where the reviews apply to many different products or versions of the same thing. There is a standard inflation tube, with a moderately successful non-return valve which you have to squeeze to let the air out. It does leak a bit between fully inflating and getting the stopper in and the stopper doesn't stay in very well as the plastic link wants to pull it out. Once the stopper is in, the valve can be pushed into the globe so that the surface is just about flush. I got this to replace a previous one which wasn't really very round. Nor is the Earth I suppose and this one is slightly better but still a bit bulgy in places. Still, for the price it is ok. Better than all of the way more (too) expensive rigid varieties.

It came so quickly 👍

Good value for money.

Wonky and dated. For example, still has Yugoslavia. Not much use as a globe or a ball.
