I bring you … The Illuminated Interactive Globe and Smart Talking Pen by Little Experimenters!
If you are familiar with this space I have created and have visited me before, you may have noticed that I come across a little nerd-ish perhaps. So it wouldn’t surprise you to hear that I always did very well in school.
Except …
except for geography. I will never forget the time my Grade 4 teacher gave us a quiz, “just to find out what we knew about the world” and I received a 4 out 50. I was absolutely mortified!
Ever since then I have been very intrigued by learning about this amazing world of ours. When I saw this Interactive Globe I thought it would be a fantastic learning tool for my 7 year old.
I simply popped the batteries into the Interactive Pen and that was all the set up there was.
We could then touch the pen to three dots:
Country and Ocean – where the pen would then tell us the names of the Countries and Oceans when we touched them with it.
National Anthem – where the national anthem of the Country would be played when we touched it with the pen (which is unbelievably cool and amazing).
Major Cities – where the pen would tell us the name of the major cities in all of the Countries when we touched them.
Once we explored the globe for a long while using these three options, we attempted to play the games!
We then touched our pen to ‘Game A’ and then (as Mama started sweating with her flashback to Grade 4 all over again) we touched the pen to question ‘1’.
The questions were tricky for us, but very interesting! We got three chances to answer the question correctly (by touching the pen to the Country or city that was the answer). Our first question was, “What Country is J.K. Rowlings, who wrote Harry Potter, from?” Luckily my little partner is a HUGE Happy Potter fan.
We definitely need to do some more practising before we will win either of the games. It is a really great incentive for listening to the interesting facts about each place though.
This globe is so interactive and engaging. My little guy has it on his dresser and I hear him playing with it every time he is supposed to be getting dressed or ready for bed 🙂
The globe also has a plug so it softly glows and can be used in the dark! It is such a cool feature. I haven’t shown my little guy this feature yet … since he would most certainly be up half the night listening to National Anthems.
Not that I could blame him – it is amazingly fascinating.

Would love this for my grandchildren! My 4 & 5 year olds are very curious about the world. Nice to see a “globe” instead of looking at on-line maps.
There is just something about a globe that I love too. I think it’s important for little ones understanding. Thank you for entering Charlotte! Good luck!
My six year old just told us she want she to be a geography teacher! This would be an awesome gift!
WOW! Go her! This would be an awesome gift – good luck!
The interactive globe sounds like a wonderful tool for learning geography.

That’s wonderful Lisabeth! Thank you for entering – good luck!
How cool!!
It really is – thanks for entering Angie! Good luck!
What a neat idea! I didn’t know nearly enough about Geography until I got older. I want my children to be far more literate about geography than I was.
You read my mind! How did you know that I was just wondering TODAY if something like this existed???
Love when that happens! Thank you for entering Sam. Good luck!
This globe sounds great! Our son loves the Bugsby books and this seems to be right along those lines.
Bugsby is new to me – I will have to check them out. Thank you for entering and good luck!
This would be perfect for my little girl! We spent last Saturday finishing up a map she hadn’t finished in her Montessori preschool class. She didn’t put the names of the countries on it and came home asking me to help her. There I was googling the information ? Who am I kidding?! This would be perfect for the both of us!
Oh I feel you on this one Jasmine! Ha! Good luck!
My name is Heather Wilson and I work at Sonja Kill Memorial Hospital in Kampot Cambodia. The focus of our hospital is to provide care for mothers and children. We recently opened an on-site preschool for staff children, which I manage. Since our hospital is a Charity hospital all the supplies and materials we have are donated by volunteers’ doctors who come to volunteer at our hospital. Therefore, your interactive globe would be a miracle gift to us that we will truly treasure.
How Wonderful Heather. Thank you so much for entering – good luck!
My son loves learning about different countries.
Even if I am too late for the drawing, I just wanted to say what a great find this globe is!! We gave our then 7 year old a stuffed globe and she was a little interested but this interactive globe is going to be a huge hit to our now even more curious 8 year old!! Thank you!!
You are not too late at all Alisa! Winner will be selected Sunday night. It sounds ideal for your daughter. Good luck!
I would love THIS! (I mean.. my BOYS would really love this.. LOL). So much more interesting than the flat map they have now.
I feel you Julie! Thank you for entering – good luck!
Our friends love the Montessori maps and globes! This product would help them to master names and locations. Not to mention that this is just pure “fun” learning!
This is a wonderful tool! Our friends love Montessori Continent maps and the sandpaper globes. This globe would enhance the fun and learning!
Absolutely it would – thank you for entering Michele! Good luck!
Wow. What a cool idea. My husband is a little map obsessed, we have maps and globes around the house… but I think this would really encourage our boys to actively learn about our world! Adding it to our wishlist (if we don’t win, of course!).
SO neat – thank you for entering Meg, good luck!
I would like it…& I’m sure our girls would too 😉 I’ve always loved geography & would love to pass that interest on to our children.
Good luck Lori! Thank you for entering!
This is awesome. My little ones would be so excited with this. We are learning about how to read a map and this would be an awesome additional learning tool.
It would be such a great addition for sure! Thank you for entering Lasondra!
I’ve been wanting this for our daughter! ?
Then it is perfect! Good luck Angelique!
Our whole family is obsessed with maps and traveling. This would be such a great tool for my homeschooled children, 7 and and two 5 year olds!
It really would! Good luck Nailya!
That looks like so much fun! My daughter would love it!
Good luck Tammy!
I know a certain little man that would find this amazing!!
Oh boy would he ever! Good luck!
Both my kids (and I) would LOVE this! I love learning geography and would love to pass that on to my two little ones. This is a great tool for the home!
Good luck Andrea!
I’m super excited to learn more about this. Maybe I’ll be that lucky winner. Thank you in advance for the great opportunity… Have a BLESSED & SAFE day.
Paula J.
Thank you Paula! Good Luck!
My daughter is obsessed with learning countries and loves everything map related! I would love to win this for her! Thanks so much for the awesome information on this!
Wonderful Jenny! Thank you for entering, good luck!
This is so cool! My little homeschoolers would love playing and learning with this!
Good luck Celia!
What an amazing learning tool. I love things that teach kids without them even knowing and because we have family all over the world my little one is all about learning about different places in the world. 🙂
Oh that is wonderful – good luck Sarah!
Wow that’s amazing
Thank you for entering! Good luck!
My daughter is so into learning about the world these days. I would love to win this for her. Thanks for the opportunity!
This would be awesome. My twins have been asking for a globe and this one is perfect.
Thank you for entering! Good luck!
This is absolutely amazing! My son is in 1st grade and this would be perfect for him! (And probably my highschooler, and me too, too, as I’m sure we could both probably use some more geography practice!) So cool!! ?
Thank you for entering Jillian! Good luck!
This is so cool! I love tools that make learning fun!
I have never even considered a globe for our home. Our kids can look at maps, but that is a convoluted picture of what the Earth looks like and how the continents actually pair with one another. The interactivity of this would make this a necessary learning tool for any home.
Good luck Tim!
My children loved the dry erase world map we purchased them so much that I know they would absolutely go crazy over this globe! Would love to win this for them. ?
Good luck!
While doing Brain Quest games yesterday, I discovered all of my kids could use some help in the geography area! This would be an exciting, engaging way for them to get that extra learning in!
Perfect timing for this giveaway then! Good luck Katrina
This looks like such a great learning tool. did you know that they no longer require geography in high school to graduate now, I didn’t till my oldest went to high school and was shocked so this would sure help supplement for all my kids.
My son always asks where things are in the world he would be able to find out and learn easily by using this
Congratulations Amanda! YOU WIN! I have sent you an email.
