[blparent] Tactile Globes and Maps

[Star Gazer]

No. My daughter wants real time info on a place like current weather conditions. My folks got her a tablet and we look at that. Static information doesn't cut it with her. She knows places aren't just hunks of land and so pointing to a place without the ability for her to see current happenings while she is looking makes no sense to her.

We have a puzzle of the United States, but my daughter has begun to ask about other countries.  How has tactile exploration worked out for you?  At what age did you start?  My daughter has shown an interest in where places are in the world, sparked by TV and also by the Olympics.
