A couple of months back, I visited a friend whose 5 year old stunned me with his geography knowledge and even saying 'hello' in many different languages. Soon I discovered that the secret to his learning was the Oregon Smart Globe. I found out that my friend had paid close to $220 for it and I would have been happy to pay that as the interactive globe is a really good educational toy for kids. I was watching the product but it had been out of stock while the 20% off click frenzy was on. This morning it's back in stock again (surprise surprise). But if you combine this with a subscription bonus code of 15% off and the AMEX online retail/click frenzy offer (spend $60 get 30 back), the final price comes down to $54.95! I'm a happy soul this morning to secure this amazing interactive globe for $54.95.
Here's the product description from Aus Geo website:
The ultimate learning tool! With over 30 learning activities children can discover more about the globe using this interactive platform. Just touch the pen to a learning activity then chose a country. There are four modes which allow kids to touch, find, compare and acquire new knowledge about the world. Packed with over 2.5 hours of audio content, the Oregon Smart Globe III uses realistic graphics as you explore over 250 countries. Touch the wireless smart pen to the globe to hear amazing facts about the countries of the world. You can also easily update worldwide information as it changes by connecting the globe to your PC or Mac. The latest software keeps information fresh and up to date - download current news events, new leader names, population changes, recent currency values and new country names. Discover the world in new exciting ways with this fantastic learning tool.
Enjoy!
