No globe? I thought there was a version that you could remove pieces from it so you could feel them, particularly designed with children in mind. Good grief!

Hi,
That would have been great but I called them and they no longer stock such a 
thing.

I'm just wondering what kids use these days in school.

Hi Karl

Would a tactile globe be any use?  I think RNIB sell one of these, least
they used to?

Hi all,

I remember when I was a kid at school that there was a map of Europe on
the
wall made out of moulded plastic that meant you could feel the topography
of
the continent.  Now as a blindey, I could really use something like this
for
different regions of the world, even if it was something less elaborate.

Does anyone know of available tactile maps of the world, I don't read
Braille so something more instinctive would be great.  Any help would be
most appreciated.

Cheers
Karl
