Globe game with 38 pieces
Description
With this globe in the form of a puzzle, children should learn about the continents and their location on the globe. Horizontally, the globe is divided into several slices, each with the map on the upper sides and illustrations and comments on the respective continent on the lower sides. The Eurocentric view of the world is also apparent: "Europe is the smallest of the five parts of the world, but the first in terms of fertility, activity and science."
