Phosphorescent Globe to Build: THE EARTH AT NIGHT - Poppik

A globe for children that lights up at night from the brand Poppik!

Make your own first globe without glue or scissors: here’s a fascinating activity that will lead children to discover the Earth in 3D. Even better: the globe is phosphorescent in the dark!

How does it work? It’s very easy! The large box contains 13 cardboard pieces to assemble to create the “skeleton” of the globe. Then, 8 pieces of thick paper are provided to make the “cover” of the globe. Finally, 9 sturdy cardboard pieces are included to build the globe’s base, so it can be displayed in the child's room.

The globe features major cities lit up at night. Turn off the lights to see them glow magically!

DEVELOPING CHILDREN’S SKILLS:
– With this globe to build, children follow the instructions in the manual to create a 3D object on their own, without glue or scissors. Once the globe is completed, they can observe the continents and countries, and most importantly, see the major metropolises, glowing brightly in the deep blue.
– Children can play together and help each other. Adult assistance is not necessary but can be very helpful, especially for younger children.
– The construction activity requires concentration and attention, while the sticker activity is much easier and even suitable for those who are not very crafty.
– This creative activity empowers the child because they create a remarkable object on their own.
– This globe is an introduction to geography. Children also learn about the concept of light pollution. The globe features the best places in the world for stargazing.
– This globe develops children’s artistic sensitivity, as it is designed by two talented illustrators from Atelier Cartographik.

This globe to build is a true educational tool for learning geography:
– A very detailed legend helps discover the different continents and oceans.
– The map also names key locations such as observatories, rocket launch sites, etc.
– Children thus learn to read a geographical map, observe the details, and memorize key elements of our Earth.
– The “skeleton” of the Earth represents the different layers inside the globe: the core, mantle, crust, etc. Children will also learn about what happens inside the Earth.

The paper is FSC certified: from sustainably managed forests.

Contents: 1 cardboard globe (diameter: 26 cm) with phosphorescent ink and 1 assembly manual.

The globe legends are in French and English.

Suitable for children aged 8 and up.
