hand2mind Inflatable World Globe with Stand

Easy to blow up and store after use!

I bought this to use in a class and missed the return window. But the globe won't seal up, the piece won't stay down so no air will stay. Also it doesn't fit on the plastic form to even hold the globe. Completely useless!

It's better than having the kid break the more expensive real thing, but it is good looking, just have a patch kit if your kid is active.

I purchased this globe because it can be taken off the stand and looked at. The price was fair and the quality is ok!

I would be returning this if I had bought it for an older child who was really trying to learn geography, but my son just turned 4 and is more into planets than cities, and I just wanted something affordable to show him the tilt of the earth, the location and various sizes of various countries and oceans, and how a bright light in a dark room can explain day / night and seasonal cycles.For this purposes, I'm totally amused by the mistakes on this globe. I've only spent maybe 10 minutes looking at it, but I've learned: (all towns in quotes are exactly as they appear on the globe, including caps and spaces):there's no such thing as Los Angeles. There is, however, a town called "Las vegas" (caps as in original) with is just northwest of a town called "San Digo". There are no towns in Nevada.there's a town in Texas known as "Houxgon". It's exactly where you might expect Houston to be, if there was such a thing. You can easily tell this by its relation to Galveston, which is a much smaller town than many of the US cities that don't appear on the globe.there's a town in Maine called "Portlan". there's a town in Texas or New Mexico called "Elpaso". the body of water that leads to Hudson Bay is called "Hudson Starait". and there's now a city in Oregon named "Eugen", which seems further for Portland than I remember. Likewise, I'm quite sure that Portland didn't used to be that close to Tacoma.Vancouver is a town in the US that's just north of Seattle, but clearly just south of the Canadian Border. Just northwest of Vancouver, but in Canada, is a place called "Victoriao"I don't remember the Yucatan looking quite like that, or Merida being quite right there. There used to be another city there called Cancun, which was over 10x the size of Galveston, but apparently it's not there anymore.There also used to be some fairly significant cities in Mexico named Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara, which was about 100x bigger than Galveston. Too bad; I liked those cities.Canada has provinces and territories, which are clearly marked on this globe. If the US or Mexico have anything similar, you wouldn't know it from looking at this globe.---so anyway... those are some things I noticed in areas with which I'm familiar in 10 or 15 minutes of looking at the globe. so, um, if you're actually getting this for someone who's studying geography rather than a kid who should understand that the planet is kind of globular and where the oceans and various important countries are, you should probably look elsewhere.something nice - I like the stand (considering the price - and I got this on a Lightning Deal), but I'm only assuming that it's an accurate depiction of the tilt of the earth. still, it's good enough for shining a flashlight on to explain days and nights and seasons and hemispheres.

It was a gift for my daughter while in school. However The inflatable globe and the axle didn't fit each other- the globe kept falling off

This was a gift that is intended to introduce youngsters to geography. It apparently, I haven't seen it yet, does not stay in the holder very well. The parent graded it as "rinky tink", a harsh judgement. But, it stirred the interest of the youngsters so a better globe will be comming soon.

Útil y llegó a tiempk

This is the most pathetic globe I have ever bought. I had to Garbage it as it has too many mistakes and I do not want my child to learn wrong. Worst and sensitive issue-Kashmir- a pride of India has been shown as a separate country and the right part of India has been shown as a part of China, which means for this Chinese company India's map starts from Central India-What a joke. And there are just 4 oceans on the globe. Like Seriously??I should have read reviews before purchasing it.
