Product Description

Editorial Review

Pilot your own voyage of world discovery with the Vtech Fly & Learn Globe. With five discovery modes that encourage real exploration, young adventurers quickly learn about continents, foreign languages, music, and world wonders. Learn Spanish from a friend in Mexico. Fly over Machu Picchu or the rainforests in South America. As the globe spins beneath the puttering plane, a helpful magnifying glass offers close-up views of fantastic sites. Each tilt of the pilot’s joystick offers a new world of exploration, a chance to hear new languages, or see new places. While the built-in joystick can be a little hard to control for the most junior pilots, music and words keep them interested, engaged, and learning. The globe also offers quizzes and parent-friendly features like an automatic shutoff that preserves battery life. Requires four AA batteries (not included). --Heather Lyndon

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok, November 9, 2005
By footballMOM (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
I was really excited to get this for my 4 yr old dd last X-mas but she has never really played with it. It is very hard to navigate the plane and it doesn't stop when you reach your destination. Anyway, I would not recommend it. However, my 2 yr old liked playing with it but didn't learn anything...he just liked the plane!

2.0 out of 5 stars Fly & Learn Globe, February 1, 2007
By S. Y. Newton (Lewisburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Fly and Learn Globe is a talking globe aimed at the preschool market. Unlike standard globes, it only depicts the continents and limits its teaching to approximately 20 or so "destinations". Also unique to this product is an attached plane that the child can "fly around the world" with the attached joy stick.

There are five ways to play. Mode 1 (My first atlas): Landing on a destination will allow the child to hear about the place, its famous sites, the people that live there or learn some simple phrases (hello, thank you, good bye) in the native language. Mode 2 (Find our friends): The child listens to clues and is rewarded if they can fly to the correct friend. Some of the "destinations" are people. Mode 3 (Quiz time): The child listens to clues and is rewarded if they fly to the correct location. Mode 4 (Flight Adventures): The child is asked to find a series of locations. Mode 5 (Music & Sounds): When the child lands on a "destination" they will hear local music or a corresponding sound.

I love VTech toys but this one misses the mark. A preschooler will enjoy flying the plane and hearing the plane sounds but will not have the eye hand coordination to land exactly on the destinations. If they can't hit the targeted destinations then they really will not be able to play in anything but Mode 1. In addition, activating the game requires a double click which I don't know if some preschoolers will remember to do. Finally, the places chosen for destinations don't quite make alot of sense to this reviewer and give a slightly unusual introduction to geography.

Amazon lists the age range as 36 months -12 years but children old enough to master this toy will be very turned off by the graphics and the limited number of destinations. My son is 7 and declared this a baby toy. If you are thinking about getting a talking globe, I would try one of the Leap Frog products.

4.0 out of 5 stars My son loves it, June 9, 2006
My son has asked for this toy every time we have gone to the store for the past month or so. Finally I gave in and got it for him against my better judgement. I had read the reviews here but and didn't think too highly of this toy but he really doesn't ask for much so I got it for him.
Its a great toy! He has had so much fun flying that plane. I even sat down and gave it a go. I'm not having problems controlling it at all, it does register the places I want it to and its just a fun toy. Perhaps the batteries were low on the toys where it go bad reviews? I think its a great toy, the only thing I think could have been better would be for a few more places to be on the globe, even if that meant making it a bit bigger.
Overall I think this is a great and educational toy.
