Old-School Interactive World Maps
Ohdeedoh in Europe

conranglobe.jpgThis interactive globe has 181 detachable velcro pieces -- national costumes, native animals and the like -- that will help teach your kids about the rest of the world. Made from cloth, the inflatable globe comes in two sizes and has a plastic interior; you can throw it in the washing machine (but be sure to take the velcro accessories off first!)...
