Christmas presents for children: the interactive globe
To help children learn geography in an engaging and fun way, Exploremondo, the interactive globe by Sapientino (Clementoni), is the best gift idea. Equipped with an interactive pen, this globe talks to its little users. In this way children (from seven years old) can learn a lot of information about continents, nations, capitals, populations but also news about language, currency, typical products and many curiosities. It offers more than three hours of informative audio content, curiosities and music from around the world, accessible thanks to the optical wand. And through the dedicated app, the child can experience augmented reality: by framing the globe with a tablet or smartphone (on which you have previously downloaded the appropriate application), animals, monuments and curiosities from all over the world are displayed.
