Bought 4 of these in different designs (World, Telling the Time, Times Tables and A-Z), and my 3 kids aged 2-6 love them, particularly this one (World Map). They are always looking at it and pointing out different places, how some countries are bigger than others etc, and my 6 year old used it for his homework on Islands recently too. Good quality mats too, was expecting cheap-looking shiny ones, but they are thick and matt (not glossy) Only one negative comment, the colour washes out a bit, so don't use scouring pad to clean!
