Why it works
By day it is a political map with the names in Spanish, for finding where each national team plays or where a cousin lives. At night it lights up and the sky appears with its constellations, and it doubles as a bedside lamp. It is a gift that stays on the desk for years, well into secondary school.
Our verdict
A First Communion classic that still makes sense. If you prefer the wall to the desk, a scratch-off map takes up less room.
They will like it if
- they ask where every country is
- they are interested in space and the stars
- you are after a keepsake that is not a toy
Bear in mind
- the base is plastic, not wood
- at 25 cm the small countries are only just legible
- the borders on a globe do not get updated
What's in the box
- 25 cm in diameter
- Political map in Spanish
- LED bulb included: lit up, it shows the constellations
- Graduated meridian
