  Giant Inflatable Labeling Globe

  The Giant Inflatable Labeling Globe from Learning Resources is a blank world globe that students fill in themselves. It shows only brightly colored continents and lines of latitude and longitude, with no printed names, so it works as an open canvas for geography lessons and quick assessments. Using wet-erase markers, students can write directly on the vinyl surface to label continents, countries, oceans, trade routes or climate zones, then wipe it clean and start again. Because it is inflatable, the globe can be tossed between students for active quiz games that make review more engaging. The globe measures 27 inches in diameter and comes with a display hook and string, a repair kit and an activity guide. It supports geography, history and social studies teaching across the elementary years.

  Puzzle Globe 3-D

  The Puzzle Globe from Learning Resources is a three-dimensional geography puzzle for young learners. The 8-inch globe spins on its base, and six color-coded continent pieces each fit into their own matching opening, while Antarctica stays fixed in place, so all seven continents are represented. Each continent is illustrated with small pictures of landmarks and wildlife, prompting conversations about different places, cultures and ecosystems. The set includes six detachable continent name labels and a sheet of blank label stickers so children can practice naming continents and oceans. As children remove and replace the pieces, they build fine motor skills, shape recognition and spatial reasoning. It is a useful first globe for early-years classrooms and has been recognized with toy industry awards.

  Big Magnifier & Tweezers

  The Primary Science Magnifier & Tweezers set from Learning Resources gives young scientists two essential tools sized for small hands. The magnifier offers clear 4.5x magnification through a large 4.5-inch viewing area, and its built-in stand allows hands-free observation. The 6-inch tweezers have easy-grip depressions that guide fingers into the correct pincer position, helping children build fine motor control as they pick up and examine leaves, rocks, bugs and other finds. Colors may vary. Together, the tools suit preschool and kindergarten science tables, discovery centers and outdoor exploration, encouraging children to collect, look closely and talk about what they notice while strengthening the hand skills needed for writing.

  Handy Scoopers

  Handy Scoopers from Learning Resources turn sensory play into fine motor practice. Their scissor-style handles mimic the finger position used for cutting, so as children open and close them they strengthen hand muscles, improve coordination and develop pincer grasp. Children can scoop, sort, sift and transfer sand, water, water beads, rice, beans and other sensory materials. The translucent scoops let them see what they have collected, and built-in drain holes turn each scooper into a sifter for sand and water play. Bright colors and easy-grip handles make them welcoming for young learners. The set includes four scoopers and a storage bucket. They fit naturally into sensory tables, early science and math centers, outdoor play and occupational therapy activities.
