PlayShifu Smart Educational Globe for Kids, Interactive AR Toy, Ideal for Preschool Learning, Birthday Gift for Boys and Girls, STEM Toy for Kids Ages 4-10

My kid could not stop playing with this as soon as I opened it he started asking me what it was, and how it worked. As I explained to him that that was where we lived, but we were in a small part of it. He was amazed he has only three so this shocks me his aware of these things.

Bought this to help my 5 year old learn geography. Here are my thoughts after using it for several months:Pros:- Interactive app brings globe to life - The AR component makes learning about animals, culture, and geography fun through games, sounds, and interactive elements. My kids are captivated.- Appealing visuals - The illustrated animals and environments on the globe look great and draw the kids in. - Vibrant colors and cute creatures get their attention.- Expansive content - With so many places and animals to explore, there is a ton of information for them to discover. Enough to keep them learning for months.- Games reinforce lessons - Activities like feeding animals their preferred foods reinforce what they learn about habitats and diets. Very clever.- Passport sticker book - The included passport and stickers encourage them to engage and "travel" to different places. A creative bonus.- Works for range of ages - Older kids get more from the detailed content. Versatile for siblings.Cons:- App can be glitchy - We've encountered some tech issues getting it to sync properly, especially in low light. When it works, it works wonderfully.- Typos and errors - I've noticed some spelling and grammar errors in the app content. Needs a bit better proofing.- Country boundaries not shown - The globe itself is missing country lines. Would be nice to toggle those on via the app for context.Overall, the Orboot AR globe was a decent educational toy buy. The integrated app makes interacting with the globe fun and dynamic. I would recommend this educational toy. Hope this helps.

We got the Orboot for our (almost) 3.5 year old son. He is very interested in planets, animals, and dinosaurs, so this was the perfect interactive toy/game for him! It very easily syncs up to your tablet, and has so many aspects to it; this is not something that your child will finish in a day, or a week. The amount of information there is to learn, is incredible!There are games that work with and without the globe (which makes it perfect for car trips too, if you don't want to bring the globe with you!) For anything that you want to see/discover/learn more about on the globe, you just line up the star with the star on your tablet. It then pulls up really cool information on whatever thing it is. My son really loved figuring out what to feed the animals, by dragging different foods to it, and seeing if the animal ate it or not. A game that does not require the globe, is to help "re-stabalize" an environment, by adding or removing certain animals, plants, or weather. My husband and I ended up playing this part of the game haha! It was a lot of fun! Although the Orboot is too advanced for my one year, my daughter also loved seeing all of the animals, and listening to the music, so it was easy to have all of us play together.One thing I was not expecting, but was so happy with, is the Orboot comes with the CUTEST passport! It is pretty realistic looking, and there is a stamp for your kiddo to use for all the places they "visit". It also comes with a little booklet of stickers for boarding passes, flags, and major cities. We absolutely love the Orboot, and are so so happy with it! If you are looking for an educational, and interactive toy/game that the entire family can get involved with, I highly recommend the Orboot!

I bought this for my 4-year-old granddaughter. She is enthralled with it all. I was positive that she would lean towards animal learning, as she is 4 years old and something of the subject matter they learn towards. To my surprise, she wanted to know about the different countries, different traditions, etc., and the animal subjects were last on the list. She loves to spin the globe around and scan the QR code with the tablet, review each subject, and take the quizzes. Sure wish this was around when I had my young children. Great education tool without the kids feeling like it's a chore, task, or even punishment. Love, Love, Love product!
