You may have noticed my affinity for globes and for geography in general when it comes to childrens toys and there is very good reason for that: growing up I was fortunate enough to travel a lot; however, I know many families especially being so far from Europe over in the US, are not fortunate enough to be able to afford to show their children the world. While many families may not be able to afford to share the world with their children visually they have plenty of chances to do it through other means and globes are one great way! Globes not only teach about other countries that your child may not get to see first hand but they also help your child in their future

endeavors by providing a stable knowledge of geography! The Vtech Fly and Learn Globe, unlike other globe’s I’ve featured in the past is designed for younger children (ages 3yrs+) and teaches your child all about geography, places, world wonders, people, languages and music with a moving airplane piece and a friendly pilot!
You can find the Vtech Fly and Learn Globe over at Amazon.com. You will be able to find this one in local retail stores as well!

Many kids request microscopes as presents and although there are many different things in the environment to examine under the microscope and there are a select few slides that come with most microscopes it is sometimes nice to be able to offer your young scientist a variety of slides to examine! The Learning Resources Prepared Slides Combination Set comes with 48 different specimens each of which are labeled with what they are so the guess work is completely eliminated. The slides include but are not limited to animal, plant, insect, textile and pollen and spore specimens. Each slide has four individual specimens including things

like camel hair, fruit fly, a bee wing, a goldfish scale, hare hair, a bamboo shoot, lily pollen and wool! All of the samples on the slides are amazing things that your child probably won’t have access to at home so they make for great investigation projects!
You can find the Learning Resources Prepared Slides Combination Set, 48 Specimens over at Amazon.com. You can find similar products at local retail stores; however, I have not seen this one locally.
