The cardboard pieces click together satisfyingly, and the final globe feels sturdy enough for my kids to spin on its stand while they quiz each other on countries. It’s a refreshingly screen-free way to spark some geography conversations.

My 8-year-old had the globe together in about an hour, and the sturdy cardboard pieces feel much nicer than cheap plastic puzzles. It’s now sitting on his desk, and he’s already pointing out countries he wants to learn about.

My 10-year-old spent a whole rainy afternoon building this globe, and the cardboard pieces fit together incredibly well. It’s now hanging in his room, and I love that it’s a sturdy, educational toy that doesn’t need glue or scissors.
