We have Oregon Scientific initially paid our 8 year old daughter for Christmas. Since then she sits every day for a few minutes on the globe. If someone goes out of acquaintance to a distant country on vacation, complete information about the country be called. Now we have the globe and the Omi paid because she was completely fascinated by how much information our daughter had some countries. We'll see who makes more of it! The shipping and delivery time were topp !!
