unique product, overpriced

I needed this for a project. It appears to be the only inflatable globe on the market which shows Earth in its natural state. It worked for me, but overall, the quality of the EarthBall does not justify its cost. The imagery is poor and blurry. The material is a bit thin. For this kind of price I'd expect something more akin to an exercise ball.

Deflated Earth Ball
Posted 4/24/2008 by Erin Lee Sears

Rating:

The product looked great, however the vinyl ripped after one use. The Earth Ball was thrown into a crowd of elementary school students at an Earth Day assembly and it immediately began deflating. Upon inspection a 2" tear was found. This was very disappointing as there were two more assemblies planned for that day at which the Earth Ball was to be used.


	No worries, Ms. Sears, you're soon to be having a ball once again. A replacement Earth Ball will be sent by the manufacturer.

My rating of 1-meter diameter EarthBall
Posted 6/30/2009 by Janet - OTHER

Rating:

We used 2 of the earth balls in our community parade last weekend. What a hit! Real crowd pleasers. They were visible, people could see us coming; intergenerational, everyone wanted to play!; durable, the parade was about a mile long and both balls still looked brand new when we were finished. We had a blast!

This thing is so cool. As soon as we got it we ran to the gas station to blow it up! It's a really cool product. I am very pleased.

The Earthball was purchased as a visual for our Christmas worship at our church. It is perfect for what we need it for and we were very happy to find something that will work so well.

Earth Ball Gets Attention
Posted 4/24/2008 by Gina L. Keel

Rating:

This is made of heavy duty vinyl (which does emit fumes) and is durable. The imaging is very good. It's an effective interactive toy and prop for events. We used it for Earth Concert and events.

I'm a speech-language pathologist working in the public schools. I also have a degree in geography which is why I feel my students need to know all about the world as well.

A good tool for learning
Posted 6/18/2012 - EDUCATOR

Rating:

A really good tool foe early learning of Earth Science. Yes the print is a bit fuzzy VERY close up, but in general use it is fine and looks good and bright.

1-Meter Earth Ball

Bought the ball not for a child but for our recycling company and church ministry. The quality of color of the earth is somewhat lacking, but is ok.


	We search the earth over for the brightest products we can find. If the Earth Ball doesn't bring bounce to your event or joy to your world- toss your concerns our way. We'll do our best to ensure you're always having a ball with Fat Brain Toys.)

EarthBall- okay
Posted 1/19/2012

Rating:

We bought this EarthBall for friends as a replacement for the identical one that my daughter accidentally deflated while playing at their house. The kids love the toy, but apparently it is not quite as durable/ sturdy as it could be.

It will look amazing from a theatrical stage
Posted 1/30/2011 by Steve Trash - Rockin' Eco Hero

Rating:

I purchased this EarthBall for my Trash & Recycle green magic school show. So far it's really been excellent. It looks very good from the stage and illustrates nicely how special our planet Earth actually is. If it holds up over time (through the rigors of touring), I'll be VERY happy!

The earth ball seems to be quite sturdy. Its sides are a little faceted-looking because we did not fill it enough to make it round--we wanted this big ball to last a long time!
