United States Puzzle Map

These wooden Geography Puzzle Maps are an essential part of the Montessori Geography curriculum, designed to introduce children ages 3-6 to the continents and countries of the world through hands-on, sensorial activities.

Each map features colorful pieces with knobs, allowing children to easily remove and replace countries or regions. The knobs are usually placed on the capital or central area of each piece, helping children associate spatial location with names.
All maps are made using silkscreen printing and precision laser cutting.

* Fine motor skills through manipulation of pieces
