Perfect visual for preschoolers

Great price for this model. I love that it has the temperatures and distances listed on each layer. I bought this to accompany my science lesson on the layers of Earth. It's hard for a preschooler to imagine the Earth having layers and this does a perfect job of helping them visualize and understand the concept. They also get a kick out of me "breaking the Earth in half."

great idea for those little astronauts in our life

This is so great my son loves this and this is very durable it's well worth the cost he took it to school and his teacher loves the fact that he's so interested in it

Just wish it’d stay together for display

I have almost the whole set of these Learning Resource models for my 5 year old science loving daughter. I gave the earth 4 stars because it doesn’t stay together with ease. Although I get that it’s a model to study or learn the inner earth then it’d be nice to display it whole without it falling apart. Otherwise, it’s a nice model that has held up fairly well. My daughter is a pretty gentle player and these still develop little hairline cracks in the foam. I can’t imagine it’d be any different for an 8 year old, which is the suggested age, I believe. As far as a learning tool these are really nice.

Great product to help introduce the basics about our planet ...

Great product to help introduce the basics about our planet Earth in a Kindergarten setting. The children loved feeling the earth and discovering the layers. Really encouraged lots of group discussions about our beautiful planet.

It does not stay together... at all!

This is a great "earth" ball with which to explain volcano eruptions and such, but the ball just flops apart.Not a great design and not any fun! I tried to send an email, but got no response..I would love to have an "earth" ball that sticks together!! Maybe mine is defective???Let me know.

Not for young children.

The small foam male side pieces that fit into the female slots on the other half of the Earth break off pretty easily. After only 2 weeks in my classroom one had come off. I was able to super glue it, but after a month all 3 had come off at some point and I had re-glued them each at least once. I am a kindergarten teacher... and this was in my classroom... so yes, it got handled a lot. The kids didn't purposely pull of the pieces but were also not as careful as an older child would be. Not a bad product other than that.
