Good value and tool to teach your children about the world.

Our family of 4 is a globe trotting family with 2-3 vacations each year and mostly traveling abroad. This is a great tool along with a globe to show our 9 years old daughter where we have been and we we will be going. Antarctica is a bit stretched out and made too big but what happens when you flatten out a sphere. Along with the globe it is easy to explain to my daughter the scale of things and how they distorts when flatten out to a 2D map. This along with our travel has really piqued her interest in international affairs as well as the history of each place we were and where we will be going. She likes to read up on our vacation destination before we go even going as far as practicing hello, thank you and other useful words in the native languages.
