The Cork Globe shows off your globetrotting exploits for all to see. Stick pins on the places you’ve been or plan your future travels. The base of the cork globe is made of metal, which is strong and sturdy and makes spinning the globe easier. The maps are permanently printed on the cork globe for a more realistic effect and will not chip, peel and fade. The cork globe part displays a clear and simple world map, country names, world-famous buildings and typical plants and animals in each place, which makes it easier for you or kids to locate or know more about every place in the world. 6 red pushpins are included, which can be used to pinpoint the place you’ve been or plan your future travels. Whiteboard markers and watercolor pens also can be used to mark any patterns(like buildings, animals, plants...)on this cork globe to make a unique globe. It will be a perfect gift for someone who loves to travel around the world, and also a wonderful gift for kids. This decorative globe is also a great addition to your home, geography classroom, or kid's room.
