Over 250 illustrations of animals and landmarks cover this globe’s surface, and it lights up from within using LED technology powered by a low-voltage USB adaptor. That means it also works as a genuinely useful nightlight, not just a daytime learning tool.
The illustrations make it easier for younger kids to engage with geography before they’re reading country names fluently; spotting a lion on the map of Africa is a more natural entry point than reading “Kenya” cold. For an older child who wants a plainer, more map-focused globe, the student globe is the simpler option. Both are in STEM toys.
