LeapFrog Explorer Smart Globe Review

The LeapFrog Explorer Smart Globe continues to be one of the best ways to educate your child in a fun and interactive manner for Geography.

Although often found in the toys section of stores, the Smart Globe is so much more, it really is an entire Geography electronic learning system on the subject.

This is the key education product area that LeapFrog has really set itself apart from the competition in this market and consistently produces high quality, fun learning toys and devices that educate children.

The LeapFrog Explorer Smart Globe looks, as the name would suggest, like a traditional globe of the world, however, the intelligent embedded electronics turn it into an interactive geographical knowledge base.

The Smart Globe comes with a retractable pen that you use to select areas of the globe and so interact with it, headphone socket for personal listening, volume controls and the necessary dials to move from learning facts to playing geography games and the individual levels within those core functions.

Learning Facts

The Smart Globe can be used to provide information on the areas that you select, including revealing facts down to a State level such as location names, population, high points, music, capital, area, money and time.

Hearing information about a particular area is simply a case of selecting the area on the globe using the magic pen and then selecting the facts that you wish to hear by turning the dial accordingly.

Playing Games

For those that then move onto wanting to test their new found knowledge, the Eureka game selection is a fun and interactive way to do this.

You select the game by turning the dial to game mode and then choosing a level of difficulty from the three available levels, you can also play in groups and choose between one and four players.

Having made your base selections you choose what kind of “test” you want to play, including States, State Capitals, Continents, Countries, Country Capitals or a mixture of them all.

The best part of the LeapFrog Explorer Smart Globe is that children (and adults) just find it a fun toy and the education really is almost an automatic byproduct of playing with it.

The fun nature of this Globe causes kids to continue to keep coming back to it again and again.

It really is a great way for your children to learn about geography, which for many can be quite boring.

It is also a great way for both parents and their children to get involved in educational activities together and kid’s just love to seem to play the Eureka game to not only show their new found knowledge skills, but also to beat other children and adults!

This video review and demonstration for the LeapFrog Explorer Smart Globe is presented by an incredibly quick three year old boy. It really is a great demonstration of the level of knowledge that children, even at this young age can develop with this Smart Globe. I would even suggest that the speed and overall knowledge that this three year old demonstrates in finding the numerous countries during the Globe’s game mode would put most adults to shame!

This video gives you a great overall understanding of how the Globe works, how you can interact with it and also what levels your child could quickly work up to…and all whilst they think they are just having fun and playing games!
