Smart Globe Junior

My grandson really likes the Smart Globe Junior. This one was a replacement for one he wore out.

It was not working correct :( poor my son

Perfect

My 5-year old received this globe as a Christmas gift. He loves geography and was very excited about it but it is so simplistic that he lost interest immediately. This globe primarily focuses on human/cultural geography. There is nothing that asks kids to locate the Pacific Ocean or the continent of Africa. The "games" described in the instructions are not games. After choosing a category, such as sports, music, or animals, you are instructed to touch a spot on the globe to get more information about that continent. Unfortunately, very little information is actually given. For instance, in the food category, when you touch South America, you are told that mangoes, papayas, and coconuts are popular in Brazil-that's it. Then you move along to the next continent. What makes it even more disappointing is that the countries aren't even marked, so your child will learn that Brazil is in South America but would have no idea where in South America it is located. I have a 2-year old that seems to enjoy the globe, but if you have older children don't waste your money on this one.
