It's always great to discover a child's toy that's fun, educational and lasts more than five minutes, and this Puzzleball certainly fits that description. It's a plastic 540 piece puzzle that once made becomes a nice decorative item; Ravensburger now include a metal stand in the box (as well as the plastic one you may see on other versions of this puzzle) that transforms the puzzle into a fully rotating 22cm diameter traditional globe. My eight year old was lucky enough to be bought one of these for her birthday, and so impressed was I by this toy that I have since bought one for a gift.In the box you get the 540 puzzle pieces, 2 stands and also simple and clear instructions.

Lots of the reviewers on here are saying how brilliant this puzzle is and I absolutely agree. It's hours of fun!A couple of the plus points I have found are:1. Keeps you occupied for hours, with lots of fun in between.2. Great for families or by yourself.3. Brilliant for children interested or in need of geographical knowledge.4. Has a decorative element - once you've built you can either keep it on display or disassemble it and build again.5. Despite only being 540 pieces, it feels like so many more and requires quite a lot of thinking because of the obscure shapes of each piece.6. Each piece is numbered with directional arrows on to help you out.But, a couple of negatives too:1.

Ingenious idea executed brilliantly. Has a curved bowl-like base for smoothing the shape initially, and the final pieces just tap in, comes together surprisingly sturdily and spherical. The puzzle itself is excellent, every piece can be determined at least by the shape of the lat-long lines, no need to cheat by looking at the backs! Having no corners or sides is a cool twist and you get a little geography lesson as you go. Even looks as good as you'd imagine when it's finished. The only thing stopping it from being miraculously perfect is that in some places the images are a millimetre out, you can only notice it up close. This is what Ravenburger was born to do!

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter as she love’s a puzzle. She enjoyed putting it together as did her dad who had to be told to stand down every now and again.Of course once it is put together we looked at it to see where countries were, it’s still standing now and when she asks where a country we refer back to the globe.It comes in lots of numbered pieces which go in sequence, so first she was tasked with finding the puzzle pieces and separating them into piles of all the 10’s / 20’s etc and then it goes up quite quickly and it is pretty sturdy after building.

Simply brilliant. My 7 year old son absolutely loved this present - his first jigsaw with over 100 pieces. It’s made out of a robust plastic, that withstands children building, breaking up, building the jigsaw over & over. He likes the fact it’s 3d and that he can place it on the stand & spin it like a ‘proper’ globe. What I hadn’t realised is that the pieces are numbered, which is definitely what makes it accessible at this age. He orders the pieces then works out how they slot together. We think this is so good, we will buy again for a friend’s 8th birthday present.

It was a wee gift to myself. I like construction type things. Due to every piece being numbered on the back and you can only really assemble it in numerical order, it quickly became a project in sorting pieces into groups of 100's and then breaking those groups down further. The contruction itself is quite simple and satisfying. The curved bowl base provided is essential.That being said, the end result is a presentable small globe. Detail is rather small to identify cities, etc. But good enough to use for perpective that you don't get from 2D maps.

Purchased for my 6 year old son as he wanted a 3D puzzle for Christmas. I decided on this one as it was educational aswell. My son sat & completed this happily on his own. Can be completed by image only if you fancy a challenge but all the pieces are numbered on the back so easy for kids to build by following the numbers & arrows on the rear. Looks great on display once completed & my kids use it to find out where places are on the globe. My kids love these so much we have since purchased the shoe style pen pot & the effel tower.

I recommend this product. The product gives you the option to follow a well designed numbering system to put the puzzle together or the expert puzzle builder can build it without using the numbers. The only difficulty is positioning the final puzzle pieces at the top of the globe. The final built puzzleball is a wonderful actual globe that you can turn on its stand. Advice is to ensure that you align/smooth the pieces while you build, as it is dificult to do the further you have built on.

The globe puzzle has taken me and my boyfriend about 4 hours to assemble. There are 2 ways to complete it:1) by following the numbers on the back of the pieces (1-500)2) by doing it in the classical way and then to the sea bits with numbersWe did the second.The very very small writing on the puzzle are difficult to see because a tiny blurrier but overall the quality is good.No glue or anything else required and the glove holds very sturdily even if span hard.

This is the second 3D puzzle I have bought for my child. She was so thrilled with the first one as they get to keep the 3D model on the side to show off to everyone. It was a brilliant parent, child bonding exercise and as the puzzle grows the child will be excited and that gives us grown ups a chance to say how fabulous they are doing. Was easy to assemble and comes with numbered pieces so is easy to follow.

It was good fun to complete this unique puzzle, was quite satisfying to see how the globe formed. The structure is really strong, the pieces won’t come apart, they keep the shape. It’s disappointing though that the lines are not straight where the pieces fit together in all cases. Unfortunately this makes the map unreadable in some cases which is a shame as otherwise the complete product looks good.

My daughter was so pleased with this puzzle in Christmas day. She made it on that day too. Followed the simple numbered steps along with following the arrows so she knew where the pieces went. My daughter was 7 at the time and completed it within the hour. Even still she lots of fun with it. Finding out all the different countries. Plus it comes with the rotating stand.

Great Puzzle, brought it for my daughter. Really good to put the country's together and teach a bit of geography at the same time. The oceans are a bit trickier as all same colour (some with writing on them to help work out), but all pieces are numbered so you can cheat a bit when it comes to the oceans.Once complete its very robust and spins nicely on the stand.

Bit of a novelty, not really a challenge when pieces are all numbered. I really enjoyed creating the globe and was quite chuffed with it.... but it slips off the stand. The top and bottom bits won't stay in and I've tried the way the instructions show, and tried swapping pieces around. So it won't stay on the stand. But still good and passes a few hours :)

Got this for my 11 yr som as a Christmas present. He enjoyed assembling all the planets. Some of the corners pieces were awkward to fit but he managed without his problems. It took him a couple of hours to build these and his brothers joined in too.The end result was really good but he had 9 planets instead of 8 as stated. He had two Mercury planets.
