Geography has never been one of my strong suits so when my daughter was unable to name all seven continents I decided not to give history a chance to repeat itself. While my husband hurriedly searched for old episodes of "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?", I jumped online to order a globe thinking I would be done in a couple of clicks. Instead I was a bit overwhelmed as my search turned up globes of all sizes and types. There were desk globes, floor globes, illuminated globes, physical globes, political globes, and more!
I decided what I really wanted was a globe that I could stick pins in to mark the places our family has visited. What I found was even better: the Bullseye Office magnetic world desk globe. The innovative ten inch globe rotates on a sturdy stand and comes with 40 metal magnetic pins in four colors. It was perfect!
We received our globe after we had returned home from a trip to Vancouver and Alaska so the kids were very excited to pin those two spots. We also designated a color for places we are planning to visit. In hopes of keeping them intrigued about new places and cultures, I assigned them each a color to mark where they wanted to go someday.
The globe is easy to assemble, lightweight, and is also available in black and tan. It makes a great centerpiece or focal point. Overall the globe is great, but we did notice some details were lost on a couple of the seams. Still, we really enjoy learning from the globe as a family.
