There were ways for my preschooler to play and my graduate school daughter who is getting her masters in urban planning was challenged as well. It was so refreshing to see something that can truly grow with a child right up and into adulthood. The trivia and find games were a favorite and my littlest guy loved finding states. So many facts are available and the quality of the sound is superb. The globe can be used with headphones and the Intellipen has a port that allows you to update the most relevant facts and information with ease.
A 48 page World Discovery book is included and both the Intellipen and the book store neatly on and in the back of the globe base. This globe is a great addition to any home or classroom. Mommy Ramblings thinks the Intelliglobe is a great gift this holiday season that will delight and educate year after year.
Ages 5 and older (recommended for ages 7–10). Includes 18 touch & control features, 7 compare features, 6 find games, a trivia challenge, a multiple choice challenge, audio in 4 Languages (English, French, Spanish & German), a 1 GB wireless talking reader, which features USB updatable, downloadable information capability, a clear sound speaker and a headphone port, a wireless Intellipen, and a 48 page world discovery book, which is compatible with the Intellipen. Pen uses 2 AA batteries (included). Globe: 18 1/2”H x 16”W x 12”D.
My son is not quite old enough for this Globe but I am sure in a few years he would love this. What a fun way to learn about the world.
