 Hugg-A-Planet January 12, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this for my 2-year-old son and he likes the bright colors of the ball a lot. But it is actually a toy for the whole family, we often sit down and study it. We found a few errors, but that was to be expected. My main criticism is that after a while it becomes lumpy and I don't think there is enough filler, so it's not really round.
But it's a fun educaional toy that would entertain your whole family!
 Made in China :-( December 1, 2007
10 out of 25 found this review helpful
Imagine my dismay when I received my "Hugg-a-Planet" and saw the "Made in China" tag! A Vermont-based company making a product called "Hugg a Planet" and it's made by workers with no rights and shipped halfway around the world in an ocean container. Just doesn't seem right.
The toy is educational and quality seems okay, so if you're looking for a toy that pretends to love the Earth without actually loving the Earth, then this one's for you.
Great toy for introducing child to travel & geography May 7, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
My husband and I used this toy to introduce our 2 1/2 year old to the concept of my travelling to Australia and it worked a treat. Although the "globe" is large, the "squishy" factor made it easy for our son to catch the ball and the colourful mapping made it fun to show him where he lives in comparison to Australia. Since world geography isn't necessarily taught very well in schools, I think this is a fantastic tool to introduce the concept of a 'world view' to children at a young age...and one that can be used for years to come!
