Customer Review: Great toy for my 6 year old son!
My 6 year old son had been wanting this puzzle ball for about a year, ever since Aug 2007. We finally got it for him on 23 Nov 2008. At first he was a little overwhemled, but each puzzle piece is numbered 1-540. So I put the puzzle pieces in piles of 100′s so he could do it a 100 pieces at a time. He spent about an hour a day on it. It took him about 5 days and 5 hours total to do it, with very little help from me. He also likes it for looking at all of the countries and states.
Thanks again for such a great toy!
Customer Review: It’s a great puzzle!
It’s a lot of fun to put together and definitely teaches geography. It’s challenging too, especially in expanses of open ocean but fortunately all the pieces are numbered. It’s only drawback is that it’s not really a “group” puzzle. Because of it’s design you basically start in Antarctica and work your way to the North Pole, pretty much holding it in your hand as you go. Because of the curve of the pieces it’s difficult to put together large “sub-assemblies” of areas like you might with a traditional flat puzzle. Nor could one person (or group) start with the South Pole and the other person start with the North Pole, meeting at the Equator. It’s also a little fragile. It won’t fall apart in normal use but will not stand up to impact or rough handling.
