USA Toyz Illuminated Earth & Constellation Globe
I’m always down for a good globe, particularly one with a unique hook that sets it apart from most others. This light-up globe from USA Toyz is exactly the type of thing I like.
During the day, you can use it like a typical globe, with color-coded countries/states, major cities, capitals, waterways, and other natural features clearly marked around the world. βοΈπ
At night however, you can switch on the inner LED backlight to turn it into a map of the stars, with all 88 officially recognized constellations denoted, along with planets from our solar system, navigational lines, and major stars. β¨π
It’s a really cool effect, and not only is it a great educational tool for kids, it also makes a fantastic night light for them to fall asleep with.
The 7.2″ diameter globe is $40 on Amazon, while the 9″ diameter one is $65.
