The Globes as Classroom Décor:
Classrooms are more than just learning spaces! Classrooms are where young minds are inspired, curiosity blooms, and creativity begins to takes flight. At ANNOVA, we believe that even the most traditional learning tools can bring beauty and character to a classroom. One perfect example? A classic globe.
Globes are a classroom staple, but they don’t have to be basic or boring. In fact, a thoughtfully chosen globe can double as a stunning piece of décor, turning a corner of the room into a little nook of wonder. Whether you're a teacher, a homeschool parent, or a lover of stylish learning environments, here’s how globes can bring life and learning into your space.
1. They Spark Curiosity
Even in the digital age, there's something magical about spinning a globe and seeing the continents move beneath your fingers. Google and Apple maps are great tools, but can be challenging for your minds to navigate on their own. Additionally, seeing a to-scale globe can give students a better idea of the world, compared to a digital map with no dimension. Students are drawn to tactile experiences, and globes naturally encourage questions, exploration, and discussion.
2. They Make Geography Tangible
Maps are great, but globes offer perspective—literally. Students can better understand distance, scale, and direction when they can view the world in 3D. Globes can be used as a learning tool when doing geographical lessons.
3. They Add Character
Who says educational tools can’t be beautiful? ANNOVA’s collection of globes comes in soft, stylish colors like blush pink, deep navy, and ivory cream—perfect for complementing modern classroom palettes or creating themed corners for young learners to look at.
4. They Encourage Global Thinking
Having a globe prominently displayed reminds students that there’s a big world out there. It promotes empathy, cultural awareness, and a love for discovery. It will inspire children to want to see different parts of the world and gain a better and deeper understanding of different cultures around the globe.
5. They’re Functional Art
With their elegant stands and detailed printing, globes bring an old-world charm to a modern classroom. Pair them with vintage books or plants for an Instagram-worthy classroom shelfie. This will instantly upgrade any classroom set up, making your classroom seem more sophisticated.
6. They Can Be Interactive
Use sticky notes, pins, or string to let students mark places they’ve studied, where their families are from, or places they dream of visiting. It’s geography meets storytelling. They are also great for a Flat Stanley project that so many kids do and love every year.
7. They Work in Any Subject
Globes aren’t just for geography. Use them in literature classes to trace a story’s setting, in history to follow the path of an empire, or even in science to talk about time zones and seasons. They can be used in art to help students understand how to draw shapes with more dimension and shadows.
8. They Make Great Teaching Aids
A globe can be a quick, visual way to answer questions, show relationships between countries, or explain natural phenomena. They offer a hands-on approach to learners who want to know more about the world around them.
9. They’re Long-Lasting
Unlike some classroom decorations that wear out quickly, a well-made globe will last for years—and continue to look beautiful the whole time. Our ANNOVA globes are high quality and made to last.
10. They Help Create a Calm Environment
Soft-toned globes can add a sense of calm to your classroom, especially when used with a minimalist or nature-inspired décor style. Sometimes, too much decor can be distracting to curious students. A simple globe can say a lot, without being a distraction to students around it.
11. They’re Great Conversation Starters
Globes naturally invite curiosity. You’ll be amazed at the kinds of questions students will ask just from having one visible in the room. Globes can be an engaging learning experience for kids who want to know more about different parts of the world.
12. They Remind Us to Think Big
Most of all, a globe in the classroom is a symbol—of possibility, wonder, and the importance of thinking beyond our own borders. It also acts as a good reminder, that we are not the only people in the world and we should learn more about those who are different from us.
Whether you’re redesigning your classroom or just want to add a touch of magic to your desktop, a globe can be the perfect piece to tie it all together. At ANNOVA, we believe in beauty and function—and our globes deliver both. 🌍✨
