Globe and Puzzle Maps
A globe is probably one of the most important pieces
of material to have in the home. The past and present
meet when we look for countries where plants or
literature originates. It can be referred to in a moment
when friends send a postcard during a trips, or when
different countries are in the news.
When we eat rice with chopsticks,
or tacos, or hear Irish music on the
radio, we can show the child
where they came from.
Puzzle maps give practice in recognizing
the shapes of continents, and oceans.
They combine the child's need for
movement and shape recognition with
developing awareness of the earth.
