If you are looking for a great way to light the spark of interest in geography and the world around us for your child, there is no better way to do that than with a globe. Now there are globes and then there are globes! In this instance, we’re referring to a talking globe that interacts with your child and invites exploration. We’d like to see a non-speaking globe top that! The globe has two educational game modes built in. The subjects vary, but the focus is clearly on expanding knowledge of the diversity of our planet and celebrating how vast and unique each part of the world is. Using sounds, lights and music to engage children, there are facts and quizzes that our testers felt really taught kids about continents, oceans and countries (including specific USA based information). All too often geography is not taught like it once was in schools. Being able to bring it home and make it a fun, hands-on experience was very appealing to parents.
