Product Description

Explorer Globe

Appropriate For Ages 8 Years and Up

Fasten your seatbelts, put your tray table in the upright position and prepare for take off. Next stop? The world. Touch the interactive pen any place on this interactive, talking atlas and learn thousands of amazing facts. Compare population and land area between say Dundee, Scotland and Oaxaca, Mexico. Find out flying times between Lubbock, Texas and Kyoto, Japan. Learn fascinating facts about continents, countries, capitals, music, currency, highest points and so much more. There is also a "Eureka" game mode that prompts players to find geographic points of interest (giving hints along the way) before time runs out. Up to four players can play six multi-level games with this very chatty, very challenging atlas. And it isn't just for kids either. Everyone will have fun testing their knowledge of geography and exploring the world. This rotating globe and talking atlas features a world clock, interactive pen, volume control, headphone jack and automatic shut-off. Frequent flier miles not included.

This globe was not purchased for a child, it was given to an older adult. I have always been fascinated with globes, so when it went on super sale at Amazon, my daughter purchased it for me for Christmas. I was horrible in geography, and when the news would come on about different countries, I could never picture where it was happening. Now, I can follow the news, find the location, and information about the country. I even used it to help my granddaughter with a geography question, I just pulled out the globe and we spent half an hour learning together.


This was a gift for my 4 year old. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he replied a globe. He has played with this over and over and since it is so interactive, it can be used for years to come. Right now he just touches a continent and then repeats what the globe tells him. He is learning the continents at school as well so this is the perfect home "lesson" to help out at school too.
I would reccomend this to anyone! We love it.



I purchased a Leapfrog SmartGlobe for my 3 1/2-yr-old grandson for Christmas. He is a bright little guy who loves to learn and had already learned most of the states and their capitals. He loved the globe, as did the other grandkids! My daughter told me in January that the globe was his favorite toy and he would sit and play with it for hours! So I had another grandson turning 5 in February who also loves this sort of thing...maps, moon & stars, etc....so I ordered one for him for his birthday. My daughter-in-law assures me that he loves his and is learning about other countries. He has a gift for music and especially likes the 'music' feature on the globe. I would recommend this for any child who likes to learn, no matter the age. They are never too young to learn, and to know that learning can be fun!


Santa brought this toy for Christmas for my twins who are 6 1/2 yrs old. My son was already very interested in different countries & the states but now has gone crazy & literally plays with it every single day. He already knows where more countries are than I do by far. His favorite part is the music that plays for each country - he will tell us his favorite musics all the time. My daughter enjoys it too.

I was however very disappointed at first. The pen broke within 2 days from Christmas - and my kids are not rough with their toys at all. I called the Leapfrog c/s & left messages ordering 2 new ones ( one I had to pay for & 1 was free after I mailed in the broken one) but it took almost a month to get them here. I called & was told they were on back order but in the meantime my kids could not play with their new toy from Santa all Christmas break. The new pen has been fine so far ( going on a month now) so I do feel better about the product now but I can tell you I was mad about it until we got the replacement & I see how much my kids love this toy.


We are very happy with the globe. Bought it for our grandson but his parents love it too. It is a source of entertainment as well as education.


I bought this for my husband because he loves globes and I thought it would be a neat way to learn about he places rather than just knowing city/country names. The only thing is, I end up playing more than him. I love the Free For All game mode. I think the way it works is that it repeats the places it wants you to find, and then every once in a while, introduces a new place that then enters the rotation. So, I'm getting repetition but still get to find new places. I can totally see how this would be a fun learning tool for a kid. The only thing that bothers me sometimes is that the pen will go on the fritz occationally. Either it doesn't select, or it gets overly sensitive. But turning it off and back on again seems to fix it. Overall, a ton of fun!


I purchased the ASIN:B000JUK55G Leap Frog Explorer Smart Globe for my grandson and he thoroughly enjoys it. He is only 5 and has learned all of the Oceans and Continents of the world. He is very excited about it and enjoys the geography part of it.


Hi,

I ordered this Globe for my 3 and half year old son and he just loves it. He spends lot of time playing with it and now can identify over 30 countries, all continents and oceans. He has been asking very inquisite questions.

I recommend this globe to all.

Thanks
