Also called the Land and Water Globe.
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.

  1. 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.
  2. Take the Sandpaper Globe and the toy plane to a mat or table.
  3. Show the child the toy car.
    "What is this?" ("A plane." or "A toy plane.")
  4. "Is this the same size as a real plane?" ("No, it's smaller.")
  5. "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."
  6. 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."
  7. "The smooth blue areas represent the water."
    Let the child feel the smooth areas.
  8. "The rough brown areas represent the land."
    Let the child feel the rough areas.
