she's started asking where every country in the news is and the map on my phone isn't cutting it. the ones at the stationery shop near us are tiny and half the labels are unreadable. want something she can spin at the dining table
we bought an inflatable one years ago for this exact reason. son's 14 now and it's mostly a pillow, but he still knows where everything is
bigger book shops in abids or koti usually keep them, or the sunday book market there. check the country names are current, we got one with old ones
Before buying, decide whether you want political (countries and borders) or physical (mountains, oceans). Most shop globes are political, which is fine for news questions. Check the year printed near the base; some stock sits for years and the borders show it. We have not bought one ourselves, so this is from a colleague who returned two.
didn't know they printed a year. will check. political it is, she wants to find the places from the news
Keep going
