DS1 is in reception, and has been spending all day telling me how people in Africa don't have baths, and live in houses with leaves for roofs..... School, take note, I'm not impressed.

I've tried with in parts of Africa there is a shortage of clean water, but there are also parts where people live in towns and citys just like us, and have clean water from the tap, but I think its too complicated for him.

So, does anyone have anything good to show him there is a vast array of housing and standards of living all over the world, but is accessible for a 4 year old?

My dc loved the human planet series. Shows lots of different ways of living, but in a way that is not condescending or patronising imo.
