The word globe comes from the Latin globus, which means “ball”. For modern people Of course, it is no secret that the earth has a spherical shape. But it was not always so. The history of the origin of the model of our planet and how to make a globe from plasticine with your own hands will be discussed in this article.

Globe history

Back in the 3rd century BC, ancient Greek scientists established that the earth has a spherical shape. The first globe is mentioned in history around 150 BC. Its creator was Crates of Mallus. His model was depicted as a single continent, furrowed by rivers. The oldest globe that has survived to this day is considered to be the globe of the German cartographer Martin Beheim. He made his model by stretching tanned calfskin over metal ribs.

Of course, it had not yet been discovered in 1492 New World, which is why it wasn't on Benheim's world map. They used Ptolemy's maps as a basis. Taking this model as a basis, later cartographers made changes related to new geographical discoveries. After this, the globes spread throughout Europe. They were given to high-ranking persons and even monarchs. Actually, in our country the globe appeared as a gift to Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov from the Dutch ambassadors. Later this globe passed to Peter the Great. Nowadays the globe is considered a symbol of enlightenment.

Citrus option

Try making a model with your child globe from plasticine. Why plasticine? This material is ideal for children's crafts. It is very flexible, convenient and safe to work with. Modeling classes help train fine motor skills of the hands, which contributes to the development of speech, because the speech center and the center responsible for coordinating the fingers are located nearby in the brain. Thanks to modeling, attention and memory are trained, and making crafts that are close to real models helps to better understand the essence of things. And of course, the child’s imagination develops and the child’s creative potential is realized.

The master class with photos below will help you create a globe with your own hands.

So, to make a three-dimensional model of the globe, you will need:

• Grapefruit or large orange;
• Ball pen;
• Plasticine of various colors;
• Stack;
• A real globe.

Prepare the base by thoroughly washing and drying the fruit. Using a ballpoint pen, draw the outlines of the continents onto the orange. This can be done by attaching tracing paper to a real globe and redrawing the outline of the land onto it. Then cut out the pattern and trace it on the orange with a pen. Or you can draw continents from the globe by eye.

Most of the globe is occupied by oceans. This is where you need to start making the model. Further, green label the continents.

Don't forget that Antarctica and Greenland are covered with snow, they will be white.

Now you can apply the hills. Looking at real map, apply yellow plasticine where necessary.

The next color to apply is orange. Don't forget to check the map.

Mark the highest places on the globe in brown.

Add deep places in the ocean with dark blue plasticine.

Look how bright and beautiful the globe turned out.

On a stand

The next master class is perfect for children.

To make a globe on a stand, you only need plasticine and a real globe. It is necessary to correctly position the continents and mountains in the vast expanses of the oceans of our planet.

Make a large ball out of blue plasticine.

Draw the poles using white plasticine.

Then, after carefully looking at the world map, make cakes from green plasticine and use a stack to give them the shape of the continents Eastern Hemisphere– Eurasia, Africa and Australia. Don't forget to add the island of Madagascar.

Place them in in the right places layout, focusing on a real globe.

Let's move on to Western Hemisphere. There are Northern and South America. Form them from plasticine and place them on the model.

Now you need to put deserts and mountains on the globe. Make them using orange and brown plasticine.

To make a footrest, make a ball and flatten it. The second part can be made by forming a roller from plasticine. Flatten it slightly and bend it into a crescent shape. Place the globe on a stand. The craft is ready.

On a stick

For another option for making a globe, see the next master class.

To make such a model of the Earth you will need:

• Plastic or foam ball;
• Thick wooden skewer;
• A glass of sour cream;
• Plasticine;
• Colored paper;
• Buckwheat and semolina;
• A real globe.

You need to make a hole at the base of the ball and connect it to a wooden skewer using plasticine. The lower part of the skewer needs to be strengthened in the cup also with plasticine. The side walls of the cup can be covered with colored paper or painted acrylic paint. Apply blue plasticine to the ball in an even layer. Coat a wooden stick and the bottom of the glass with white plasticine. Based on a real model of the Earth, make continents from rolled out green plasticine. To do this, you can use their patterns. Using yellow and brown plasticine, mark the hills and mountains. Sprinkle the locations of the glaciers with semolina, and the places where the most high mountains, decorate with grains of buckwheat. The globe on a stick is ready!

It is most convenient to visually study continents and bodies of water with a model. However, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase a ready-made globe. Then you can feel like a creator and make a miniature planet yourself. Moreover, it can be made in several ways. Let's look at how to make a globe with your own hands from paper.

Preparatory stage

Cover the table on which you are going to make crafts with newspapers, waste papers or special oilcloth. Get everything ready necessary materials, so as not to be distracted by searching for them in the process.

You will need:

• pots;
• glass containers;
• spoon;
• water - five glasses;
• flour - one cup;
• newspapers or consumer paper;
• balloon;
• primer;
• tassels;
• paints (acrylic or gouache diluted with PVA glue);
• scissors;
• hot glue;
• bushing from toilet paper;
• plastic plate (cake stand).

The globe needs a base. Therefore, you need to figure it out. Ideally, you need a round balloon. Choose the diameter with which you want to make the globe. Inflate the balloon and tie tightly. Place it on a glass or any other convenient container that can serve as a stand. If you want to make the most realistic model of the planet, then try to achieve a slightly flattened shape. If you only find a standard oval balloon, just inflate it lightly.

Cooking the paste

Before you make a globe with your own hands from paper, you need to prepare a binding solution - a paste. Pour four glasses of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in another container, mix the flour with the remaining liquid. As soon as the water boils, gradually add the resulting mixture into it, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to low and cook for a couple more minutes. Don't stop stirring otherwise it will burn. The finished paste can be placed in a cool place so that it cools faster.

with your own hands

Tear the newspaper into small strips or squares with your hands. Lubricate with oil or Vaseline. Place a pan with a binding solution in front of you. Dip newspaper pieces into the paste and apply to the ball. So make several layers. Don't forget to leave a small hole through which you will then remove the ball. Cover the remaining paste with a tight lid or plastic bag. Leave the workpiece to dry for a day.

Warm up the adhesive mixture and repeat the entire process. That is, wrap the ball in pieces of paper and let it dry. In principle, you can stop at this stage. But the more layers of paper, the stronger the ball will be.

We are already getting closer to how to make it. We did not completely make it out of paper. closed blank, but with a small hole. Puncture a balloon through it or untie the tip and deflate. Don't let go of the tail, hold it with your fingers. Remove the balloon. The result was a hollow piece of papier-mâché in the shape of a ball.

We paint and create continents

Cover the future globe with primer and let dry. Now paint the ball blue. This is how we simulate oceans and seas. Draw the continents with a pencil by hand or using stencils. Paint them with green, brown, yellow and white paints, based on the real layout. If desired, sign the names of continents, bodies of water, islands, and so on. Now all that remains is to make a stand to make a tabletop globe. But first, let's look at how else you can make a world map.

Other options for creating continents

Paint the globe blue. We cut out the finished continents from paper and glue them to the ball. The map can be left white so that during the learning process the child himself can paint the continents and bodies of water in the desired colors. Or you can completely cover the globe with blue paper, and then apply the continents.

The easiest way is to transfer a ready-made world map. Some craftsmen process the image in a graphics editor: enlarge it, stretch it, and then print it and glue it. Or you can do it even simpler - take a ready-made paper globe model as a basis. For example, you can use the image above and resize it to the size you need.

Globe stand

Take a toilet paper roll, make a cut on one side and bend it over. Apply hot glue to them and attach them to the middle of the plastic plate. You can use the bottom of a round cake box instead. If necessary, widen the hole in the globe. Insert the other side of the sleeve into it, pre-lubricated with glue. The tabletop globe is ready. If the papier-mâché workpiece turns out to be quite heavy, then weight the stand with plaster or use a container with sufficient weight instead of a plate.

How else to make a base for a globe

• Simply crumple up the newspapers and wrap the paper in several layers until you have something that looks like a ball. The method is simple and fast, but not neat.
• Buy a ready-made foam blank.
• Use Christmas balls if you want to make a small globe.

Take a volleyball, football, gymnastics or other ball of suitable diameter as a basis. You can immediately draw or stick continents on them. You can also use them as a form for papier-mâché. Only the paper blank will have to be cut to remove the ball. But you can attach loops to the halves and turn the model of the planet into a box.

Now you know how to make a globe with your own hands from paper. Try making it with your children, they will definitely enjoy this exciting process.

It is necessary to perform scrupulous, but interesting work. It is important to find the most suitable card possible and print it. There are many ready-made globe layouts on the Internet. An old political map will also work.

When making a paper globe with your own hands, make sure that the scale of the map and the base on which the map is glued match. You can make the base in several ways.

Globe mockup made from cardboard blanks

For such a globe, you need to patiently and correctly make several pentagonal cardboard blanks. This is the most difficult and responsible part of the work. Their number will depend on the size of each of them. You need to complete the elements according to the diagram.

What to do next, how to make a globe with your own hands from these strange elements? Cut the map into the same elements and glue it with PVA glue onto the cardboard parts of the future globe. You should have a construction kit that can be assembled from spare parts, and which can later be disassembled if you notice that some part has been glued incorrectly. Take your time. All elements must then be assembled in strict sequence so that the copy of the land is correct.

The task is not as difficult as it seems. But, naturally, the child will need the help of an adult to create this interesting model.

How to make a globe with your own hands based on a finished ball

Another blank can be made from a regular old soccer ball. Just cover the ball with newspaper and apply several layers of paper with glue. Then you can choose one of the options:

1) Glue on the marked and painted globe blank.

2) The child can independently paint the globe.

Suitable for making a globe is any other ball-shaped object you find at home. It could be a toy rubber ball, or a small ball that was a Christmas tree toy. Whatever you want, let the child show his imagination and make a globe with his own hands. Surely he will be proud of this.

Copy of land made of paper

You can also make a globe with your own hands using photo paper. This model will be the most plausible. It will consist of 2 parts: the hemispheres of the North and South. They are then glued together using a strip of hard cardboard paper, which will be the equator.

On good photo paper, print out the full layout of the globe. Preferably with all the continents, with the names of the countries. Cut straight down the center. Then you need to carefully cut out the elements. Their number is 24, in accordance with the number of meridians. Cut out each meridian very carefully so that the globe does not turn out crooked. We begin gluing the sheets at the top, that is, from the poles. Sheets are glued together inside. When you connect all 24 sheets in the center, bend them and secure them to the “equator”. Be sure to number all the sheets on the inside of the paper with a pencil.

When you have completely made the globe with your own hands, come up with a stand for it, and you will have a wonderful copy of the original globe. It is best to cut the stand out of wood. Make the semicircle supporting the axis of the ball thin and not heavy; the stand for it needs a thicker one to support the weight. Make sure that the semicircle is the right size.

Origami globe

Any experienced origami lover can make a globe with his own hands. A master class on making a paper copy of a globe using this technique can be given to a child by a parent.

There are several globe layouts using the origami technique. But most often they make a globe craft in the form of a square “ball”. After all, this craft serves only as a funny decoration, a trinket. There is no respect for scale here. Origami globes are folded for fun.

You can make a real round globe if you make a craft from paper modules. More than 1 thousand modules need to be prepared for the globe. It's much more complicated, but modular origami looks very nice, and your Earth will really be spherical.

Globe for the little ones

Try it for yours small child DIY globe from plastic plates. It's very simple and won't take much time. Just cover 2 plates with patterns and glue them together.

But if you don’t find such a layout, then download the usual one, which only shows the meridians. And then glue the cut out continents on top. On the continents, your child will draw whatever he wants. This is a “trial version” to show your baby what the planet looks like. You can even not glue the meridian layout, but simply stick on blue paper depicting the oceans. You can also recommend that your child make continents from plasticine and use superglue to attach them to the plates in the places you indicate.

All the given copies of the Earth are made in order to interest the child and spend time with him. But educational material there will be no such globe, made with your own hands. These crafts are low-precision models. But at the same time, making an entire globe with your own hands - who wouldn’t be interested?
