The global economy is very complex and, quite frankly, not interesting to a lot of people. However, the point of global interdependence is very easy to drive home to your kids. All it takes is a map and the products that you already buy. Find a large world map - the bigger the better. As you buy products, have kids check the tags or stickers (especially on clothing and produce) and mark on the map where they came from.
Some produce can even be tracked by the farm. My girls love it when we log on to the web and punch in the farm number and see the satellite view of the very farm where our bananas were grown!
