Geografia Globes

We love a well-designed product, especially an educational and interactive well-designed product. These globes, designed and created by Geografia, definitely fit that description. They are so much fun and are an awesome learning tool as well. Our family loves to travel, and plan to travel even more in the future, so I really like the idea of a fold up globe that attaches to my luggage. I am one of those people that sits on the airplane with the travel magazine, checking the airplanes routes on the maps in the back periodically throughout the trip. The "voyage" foldable globe allows me to easily pull it out and unfold to have a whole globe with me wherever I am. Even cooler, the "voyage" globe comes in three styles: timezones, climate, and nations. That's right, you can check out wind patterns on your fold-up globe. They also have a variety of other type of paper globes from everything between night globes, globes that come apart in sections to learn about the Earth's core, and even material globes that balance at the angle of Earth's axis. There is one globe that is blank so that you can color it in yourself. This could be really fun for kids learning about countries, or I even would love to have it to color in each country I go to until the whole globe is complete. These globes put some plausibility to putting "the whole world in my hands."
