Smart Globe

Apparently most kids these days wouldn’t make great cartographers (neither would most adults I imagine). Instead of giving the kids another 2 Xbox games, opt for this cool tool. Downloads target age appropriate learning activities including country capitals, leaders, populations, currency, language, weather, history, national anthems, election results and more. Features a wireless pen, 3D barcode technology and 9 languages with 3 versions of English.
