The Montessori classroom exposes children to this globe first, followed by the globe of the continents. This stereo gnostic globe presents children as young as three, with the concept of the world, its shape, and what constitutes the main features of earth.
The globe of land and water is also known as the sandpaper globe. The main features of this globe are the blue water, and the raised land formations with a sandy texture, which defines the concepts of land and water. Therefore, this globe forms part of the Sensorial curriculum, introducing the toddler to the geographic material.
As an integral part of the Montessori curriculum, the Child gets a sense of the shape of the world and can visualise the distribution of land and water over the earth. These land formations are aligned to the continents, so the young Child inadvertently absorbs this knowledge.
This work leads to the introduction of the globe of the continents. The wooden base of the globe, holds the globe of the continents at a 23° angle, the same as the earth’s axis in relation to the sun. The height of the Globe is 19 cm
