Map of the world.

By far one of my favorite geography lessons/work for the kids. The work itself is fairly simple and the finished product is beautiful. After an introduction of each continent, each continent is then push pinned (of course you all know what push pinning is b/c you've read my post on it, right? Just in case, here's the link :)

Once a continent is punched out each child goes to their map and pastes that continent in its proper place. In most Montessori classrooms you will find a wooden puzzle map (pictured) which serves as a guide for the kids. Montessori materials are just so dang pretty! Here is a map in progress....
