It’s a great way to teach your kids about the planet, about the different people that exist on it and allow their imagination to run wild. You would need to probably answer a lot more questions, but then that’s ok right? Coz that’s exactly what makes kids what they are – their curiosity, their imagination and their love for learning more.

Watch this with your kids and go on this magical journey around the Earth with them!
