This material introduces the child to the concept of the globe as a representation of the earth.
Presentation
The small object (or objects) to go with the globe could be just about anything. In this example, we'll use a toy plane.
- Show the child the correct way to carry the globe. One hand should hold the base underneath and the other hand should be on top.
- Take the Sandpaper Globe and the toy plane to a mat or table.
- Show the child the toy car.
"What is this?" ("A plane." or "A toy plane.") - "Is this the same size as a real plane?" ("No, it's smaller.")
- "Right. This isn't a real plane. It can't really fly, and it's way too small for people to ride in it. It's a model that represents the real thing."
- Set the plane down and point to the globe.
"This globe is a model of our planet earth. It's much, much smaller, but it represents the real thing." - "The smooth blue areas represent the water."
Let the child feel the smooth areas. - "The rough brown areas represent the land."
Let the child feel the rough areas.
