I like the idea of being able to find the countries or cities within 45 seconds as I am hopeless at geography and my daughter is beating me already. Well done Leapfrog for an outstanding toy!! Great idea. Shame it was broken! (28 December 2007)This globe certainly is a fantastic idea. My seven year old was desparate for a globe for christmas, and this seemed the ideal choice as we would all be able to play with it together over the holiday. How dissapointing then when he opened it on Christmas morning and discovered that it was convinced that most of the northern hemisphere was the artic ocean! We are sendning it back (to Santa) for one more go. Better Than School Geography (23 October 2007)My 8 year old daughter knows more about countries and capitals than any 16/17 year old that babysits for us, a fun educational toy, would recommend it to any parent!! Fantastic toy! (22 February 2007)What a great toy! I bought one of these for my 6 year old son for christmas. He plays with it every single day. The one we received is a different colour to the one pictured and features an Engish voice. My son really enjoys the quizzes - finding the capitals, oceans, countries etc before the time runs out. There are a few levels - fun for all ages, including adluts! The globe will also tell you facts about each country, and plays a song which is related to each country (not sure if these are accurate, but the kids like them)! So, all-in-all, a great toy. It is expensive, but my son has literally played with it every single day since Christmas. So well worth the money. We are still on the set of demonstration batteries that came with the globe, so they last a long time, and it seems really well built. A must have! (27 January 2007)After considering conventional globes I am extremely pleased with The Explorer. There can be no better introduction to Geography for young children. It provides a huge amount of factual information and the inclusion of games in the form of timed tests of your knowledge have provided a lot of fun for both young children and those a little maturer in years (such as myself). The simple concept of the globe speaking provides the key to this excellent product. Children can learn at their own pace and simply hearing the correct pronunciation of some quite tricky words and place names can give the youngsters a head start when they progress onto the subject at school. All in all a great introduction and well worth the money. | |
