The boy got an introduction to maps at a very early age. We got him a laminated one that doubles as a placemat when he was about 1, and it was amazing how quickly he recognized country shapes. He has been messing around with Google Earth for about as long, as well as our atlas, and seems to understand the concept of scale, at least at some basic level. And when he sees a Foster beer logo, he says, "That's Australia!"
