Instructions for the sandpaper globe
The adult puts the globe on the table. He touches a land, then a water surface and names it (land, water). Now he turns the ball a little further and touches all land and water surfaces one after the other, always naming them correctly.
After that, it is handed over to the child.
With the help of a flashlight, you can show the development of day and night by rotating the globe.
