This material teaches the child about the continents and the countries that make up each one.

Presentation

The first of these puzzles the child does should be the one of his own continent.

  1. Take the puzzle map to a mat. Place it to the left. (Two mats may be needed depending on size.)

Material

I'm not sure why so many puzzle maps of Africa are missing Eritrea; it's been a country since 1993. South Sudan is missing from even more puzzles; it's been a country since 2011.
