EarthBall fun for 8yo or infant
Posted 1/12/2010 by debra hazel

Rating:

The EarthBall had a plastic smell when it first arrived, but the product is surviving a ball-crazy dog, hard-playing 8-year-old, and go-go 6-month-old baby. One review mentioned it glows in the dark—we did not find this to be true. But my 6-month-old loves to lie on his back, holding and kicking it, and my 8-year-old loves to volley it across the room with me. And it's too big for my dog to bite, so it's surviving. Fun for any age.

I had trouble getting it to blow up fully. The kids like it, but so far have used it only as a ball and not the educational tool it can be. The booklet describes some educational activities for the earth ball.

I like the fact that it is actual satellite photos, so I think of it as a global family portrait even though we can't see everyone individually. It's playful and educational.

I was a bit concerned that the product was made in China( safety problems) however there do not seem to be any problems that I am aware of. This ball is an excellent teaching tool.

Earth Ball 16 inch

Rating:

The Earth balls seems quite durable and has an excellent image of the earth as seen from space. The clouds give the ball a realistic look without distracting from the terestrial and ocean features.

fun toy
Posted 4/9/2012 by Nancy G

Rating:

Fun toy but not as educational as I had hoped. Our 7 year old is very interested in maps, globes, etc so we purchased this and he uses it as a ball. Because the globe doesn't have any markings like a map he's not as interested in it and the cities don't light up as much as we would have liked.
