Little Leaps SW: Winnie the Pooh

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Geography and Globes
from: LeapFrog

June 07, 2007
My daughter loves her other Little Leaps games, but this one is a dud. Maybe it's just her, but she prefers the interactive puppets versus the cartoons. Not only that, but there are fewer games on this one than the other puppet type games.

If you already have the others, then you may want this one to add to your collection.

If you don't have others, I'd recommend the LeapFrog Little Leaps Play & Move instead.

GeoSafari Talking Globe

I am quite disappointed with this product because it doesn't do what I expected. I brought this for my seven year old son because he loves to learn about different places. I thought the globe would help him learn by pointing to a place and telling him about it. Instead, it just plays a game asking questions. Yes, he can learn by this type of interaction, but that is not what I wanted from this product. I thought I had search the internet enough and had found what I wanted for him, I didn't. In my opionion, it would be a great institutional learning aide for a classroom environment. Perhaps for an older child this would be a more useful learning product.

Learning Resources - 12" Inflatable Topographical Globe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Geography and Globes

The globe needs quite some pressure to look like a "globe"(then again it does leak slowly). The seams are not smooth but not too bad. For $6 I guess that's the trade-off!

Good information for learning but awkward to use since it is not interactive using a probe to touch areas on the Globe to get relevant information.

Erupting Volcano Model

My daughter was studying volcanos at school, so I found this at a perfect time. She loves it, and with one example, she can make her own volcano erupt whenever she likes. Clean-up is tolerable.

Fascinations Titan 8-Inch Levitating Globe, Metalic Blue

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Geography and Globes
from: Fascinations


I bought this globe for my husband as a gift. It takes a while and some practice to get it to levitate and even once you can get it to levitate it only works for maybe a minute before the magnet at the top snaps it up. The globe itself is a thin, cheap plastic. I'm really unimpressed by this item, especially since it is fairly expensive for a globe. If the globe itself wasn't so cheaply made I wouldn't mind that the "levitation" is sketchy and brief at best. I would recommend people pass on this on this item.

As someone wrote before, you have to be careful with those stickers, if not, you will rip the globe.My problem is with he hear sliding sswitch. iy is supposed to say facts about oceans and stuff. but it recognises states and conitnents. when I slide it to 'countries' it does not recognise. when i slide it to' oceans' , it does not recognise, nor says any factsa bout any ocean.[...]
overall, globe is OK, voice is not very clear. nothing great, and definitely has the fel of being cheaply made.

Oregon Scientific PR18-06 Smart Globe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Geography and Globes
from: Oregon Scientific


I have tried to update the SmartPen for a couple of days now and I get stuck at formatting the pen. It hangs up near the end and uses all my CPU. Talked to support and they don't know anything. They said it sounds like my SmartPen was bad and they would put my name and address on someone's desk and would probably end up sending me a new one. This was after waiting for about 50 minutes on the phone to speak to someone. We'll see if they actually get back to me and send me a new SmartPen.
