Magnetic Globe Puzzle

Magnetic Globe is a toy concept involving a globe with magnetic continents and oceans that fit together like a puzzle. The Magnetic Globe Puzzle will teach children about the continents, oceans, hemispheres, and poles, as well as magnetics.
Children will most likely interact with the magnetic globe puzzle alone, with parents, or with a friend. After the puzzle has been assembled children can use it like a regular globe.
The toy is safe and durable. The size of the pieces are safe for the recommended age groups. The continents and oceans are constructed out of a durable flexible magnetic material. The globe itself is plastic with a magnetic coating and about 10 inches in diameter. The base is plastic as well. The estimated construction cost is $10.
The recommended age group for the Magnetic Globe Puzzle is 6 and up.
