If you are looking for a great way to introduce geography and culture to your young children, either during homeschooling or as an adjunct to their traditional schooling, this would be a good place to start. This entertaining activity and game set focuses on China and teaches about the food, the people, and its various famous sites and landmarks. Parents found this to be a thoughtful, conversation-provoking, engaging, interactive experience that helped little ones use their creative minds and imaginations while they “traveled” to a far-away land. This is a high-quality toy that is beautiful, visually appealing and durable. It utilizes puzzles, games, story cards, and a journal to spark curiosity. The package is excellent, providing loads of information and as an added bonus it is 100% recyclable. The play mat inside is washable which parents really appreciated. They felt that the age suggestion of 4+ is perfect as this raises global awareness…a concept that can in fact be grasped at a young age. Young enough to comprehend the concepts and absorb what is being taught but yet in an age-appropriate way.
