How many people have an old globe sitting in the study or in the kids’ room which is covered with dust so that even if the kids wanted to, they couldn’t locate the Pacific Ocean or Hawaii?

Well remove that globe from its stand and turn it into educational hanging art for your kids’ room. Cut a hole in the top and bottom of the globe and thread through and suspend a light globe and cord. When your new lamp is turned on the whole world will light up for your kids and when your globe lamp is off, it will still look very funky hanging from the ceiling.

You can even get the kids involved in this art project – fully supervised of course – as this ensures that they will always be fascinated by their globe lamp because they have had a part in creating it.
