This map is very nice quality. The workmanship is superior. My only beef is that the magnetic aspect is a
bit wimpy. The map is mounted on a nice
board with cord that allows it to be hung.
The pieces "hang" in there but it doesn't take too much
bumping to knock them off the map. Five
year olds do a lot of bumping. That is
the only negative I found. The world is
illustrated with lots of colorful graphics and folkish things like the nesting
dolls over Russia . There are areas that can be a touch
confusing but input from an adult should take care of that. The English Channel
is part of a piece and it might be a touch confusing about the separation from
the continent. Indonesia will
need to be clarified as to the water between places. Overall, I think this will be a terrific
learning and teaching tool. The only
reason it is four star instead of five is the weak magnets which considering
some of the liability issues lately with toys that incorporate magnets, was
probably intentional.
