It came with a strong odor, but there is little of that now.
I've enjoyed guessing how far away from the earth I might be at certain seats from it. The diameter of the earth has played a part in that.. There has been a firming up of geographical locations for me with it.

Great visual for teaching children.
The theme for our Vacation Bible School was God's Work in God's World. The 40" globe was used at our daily openings to help visualize what what being said.

Wow!
This was used in my Pastor's Sunday sermon illustration, and it was the perfect size, good quality, and everyone loved it! I had not used Oriental Trade before and now that I know you are here, I will be using you in the future for other items

Arrived with 8+ holes
The ball is huge and super fun, but ours arrived with at least 8 jagged holes in it that we had to patch with duct tape in order to use it as intended the next day.

Too Many Holes
There was a hole when we blew it up so we used the patch and blew it up again. There is another hole somewhere. We are not pleased.

Fun introductory Globe.
lots of fun to introduce the globe to small kids. The map is not up to date so not good for current events. Quality is OK for the price but the ball defaltes some over night and must be reinflated to bounce. Not sure how long it will last but it is fun.

This ball is so much fun!
This ball is such a hit with my fourth grade students. We have an outdoor classroom with a big field, and they want to take it out to recess every time, usually playing some variation of volleyball or hot potato.

Entertaining if not necessarily educating
I've always wanted a big globe. This is not a super accurate classroom type but it gives a really good perspective of the distances and relationships between countries. I've spent several hours exploring the countries I see on National Geographic shows.
