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.

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.

Jasmine says
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!
Sarah says
Oh I feel you on this one Jasmine! Ha! Good luck!
Heather Wilson says
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.
Sarah says
How Wonderful Heather. Thank you so much for entering – good luck!
Jennifer H. says
My son loves learning about different countries.
Alisa says
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!!
Sarah says
You are not too late at all Alisa! Winner will be selected Sunday night. It sounds ideal for your daughter. Good luck!

Sarah says
I feel you Julie! Thank you for entering – good luck!

This is a wonderful tool! Our friends love Montessori Continent maps and the sandpaper globes. This globe would enhance the fun and learning!
Sarah says
Absolutely it would – thank you for entering Michele! Good luck!
Meg says
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!).
Sarah says
SO neat – thank you for entering Meg, good luck!

Thank you for entering! Good luck!
Jillian Jobe says
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!! ?
Sarah says
Thank you for entering Jillian! Good luck!
Kelsi says
This is so cool! I love tools that make learning fun!
Tim says
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.
Sarah says
Good luck Tim!
Jessica Reopell says
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. ?
Sarah says
Good luck!
Katrina Brockavich says
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!
Sarah says
Perfect timing for this giveaway then! Good luck Katrina
Jennifer Cervantes says
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.
Amanda Hoffman says
My son always asks where things are in the world he would be able to find out and learn easily by using this
Sarah says
Congratulations Amanda! YOU WIN! I have sent you an email.
