Puzzleball Globe

The Ravensburger Puzzleball Globe with 180 extra-large pieces and colorful graphics is sized just right for children ages seven and older. With wildlife and landmarks abundantly depicted around the globe, students will gain awareness of the culture and climate in each area they are assembling.


Puzzles can be educational in so many ways because they stretch your child's brain and improve the way his mind solves problems. While solving a puzzle, he's really teaching his brain to work in new ways. As your child solves a geography puzzle, he is mentally drilling himself with physical facts. Facts such as what country goes next to the one he has just completed. Subconsciously, he makes several associations as he searches for the next piece.



Flat puzzles are easier to assemble, but what if you could hone your geographical skills on something more appropriate, more true-to-life? Now you can with Puzzleball Globes. Suitable for beginners and a refresher for both your pre-teens and older children, Puzzleball Globes can be assembled in three different ways. Use the small number located on each of the curved, non-image sides of the puzzle piece, or for more of a challenge, use a world map to assemble the globe. Finally, when you think you are ready for the expert level, try completing the Puzzleball Globe without looking at the map or numbers.


Perfectly-Crafted, Curved Puzzle Pieces Allow for an Exact Fit

Each Puzzleball Globe comes with beautiful, vibrantly colored, and perfectly-crafted curved puzzle pieces that allow for an exact fit. And they are easily assembled with no glue required! A stand is included to display your work of art, but you will have so much fun putting the globe together repeatedly that you shouldn't be surprised if the stand gets little use!

    Puzzleball Globe Review by Heather O'Steen

    Review by Heather O'Steen

    ”The puzzle pieces are thick plastic – not cardboard! They are very durable and will last through never ending putting together and taking apart of the puzzle.”

    ”It’s a fun little globe to look at. Not as detailed geographically as larger globes, but it features animals of the world in appropriate locales.”

    Fun and Helpful

    I love this puzzle because it is fun to put together, gives them a great visual of the world, and has even been used several times during history and geography lessons. Perfect for any homeschool room!

    Proud Globe Owner

    My daughter was so proud to own a globe after putting this globe together! It's a bit difficult to snap the plastic pieces together - but that difficulty is what makes the globe stay together once puzzled. A delightful project that creates a useful tool.

    Fun and Educational

    My 7 year old was able to build this in one day, so glad it was not too complicated. The animal images make it interesting for animal lovers to map their whereabouts.

    Very Unique!

    I’ve been eyeing up this puzzleball globe for a while, and finally decided to order it. It is much sturdier than I thought it would be. The pieces are thicker than I imagined too. It looks like it will stay put together well. The pictures add a nice aesthetic touch.
