As a project for science and arts, we decided to make a globe with a balloon, so that we could learn to recognise the shapes of the continents. The process was more complicated tgan it seems. I blew up the balloons and the children glued pieces of paper to them. When they were completely dry, we painted the balloons with blue paint. Meanwhile, we coloured the continents on a piece of paper and cut them out. When the paint was completely dry, we glued the continents to the globe with the help of our map projected onto the white board. Tom and Tracy helped us to spot and place the continents.
The results are good, but I have to admit that we had a little problem with some of the balloons, since we left them next to the heater, and the next day a few of them were flat and completely useless. Nevertheless, we had lots of fun during the whole process, and we tried to make the concepts related to the Earth a bit easier.

I would like to be a child again and to study geography in this way.
