VTech Touch & Teach Learning Globe

I have to admit, when Jacob was given the Vtech Fly and Learn Globe a year last Christmas, I was unsure as to how interested he would be in it. After all he was only 2 and a half and could not possibly have had any concept of the world. However, 15 months on, this is one of the toys that is brought out time and time again. The globe itself is very eye catching. The sea areas are bright blue and each continent is a different colour.

My daughter played with this toy every time we went into Woolworths, she fascinated by it . After about seven months, and being as she is just starting to learn about other countries, I decided to buy it for her. I didn't buy it from woolworths though as I got it cheaper else where.

I bought this item for my son at christmas. Age 4 he had started to find a interest in finding out where different countries where. For example a few months back we went to visit my father in Jamaica and i thought as my son is always talking about Jamaica i could show him on the globe where my father lived and how far away it was from where we were.
