Map or globe for 4yo

Littlejen22

DS is really interested in places - he loves to travel (yeah at 3yo) and DHs family all lives out of the country.  I do not link the kid toy globes that I have seen b/c they are not detailed enough, DS already knows the names of the continents so I feel that would be somewhat a waste.  Would you do a wall map (like 3'x4') or a regular globe that is really for much older kids?  Other suggestions welcome.  Oh, this would be a present for when he is 4.

We got DS this one.  He's a little young for it, but loves asking questions about it.  It's the Traveler Globe on Amazon ($34)

I'll add.. when I was a kid, I had one just like this.  I still associate countries with their globe color

Lol, to me North Dakota is still orange!  From my puzzle map.

Does he have a Tag reader?  I've recently seen they have maps that work with the Tag pens.  I think there is a USA one and a world one, or maybe its USA on one side and world on the other.  Looks neat and i guess the pen tells things about the places they touch.
