Pangda 4 Pcs 24 Inches Inflatable Globe Giant Blow up PVC World Globe Beach Ball Swimming Pool Toys for School Classroom Geography Playing Teaching Party Favors Decorations, main light blue

I kept my 4-year-old grandson the week schools were closed for hurricane recovery. We did a puzzle of the United States the first day. He was curious about what was in the blacked out areas above and below (Canada and Mexico). I ordered these globe inflatables overnight delivery-- they were on my doorstep the next morning!I only inflated one, which blew up easily and stayed inflated. Thus, I can't say whether the other three held air or not, as some people have complained about in other reviews. The shape isn't smoothly round; like many beach balls it's shaped by the segments of plastic sealed together to make the globe shape, but the map sections are lined up perfectly and it's close enough.My grandson enjoyed learning about continents and countries, and then we played a game where I would name a continent and he would punch it, which was perfect for a rambunctious little boy. Good purchase!

We used these for a missions class at church. We would let them choose a place, then learn about the culture, food, and customs of that place. They are about the size of a beach ball, and easy for the kids to handle. Of course, they were tossed around a bit, but none of them popped! It was a good way to keep the kids interested and interacting. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

For my son’s geography themed birthday, these were great, but one of the four or five it came with didn’t blow up- like the hole wasn’t created correctly. Still great addition for the money, good size, kids had fun with the ones we blew up, and the color isn’t dull :) Great for the pool too!

Very hard to blow up even using pump. Only one stayed inflated. Poor quality
