The Nienhuis Montessori Puzzle Map of the United States is a hands-on geography material that helps children explore the geography of the USA while developing visual perception, concentration, coordination and an understanding of the world around them. Through sensorial activities with the Puzzle Maps, children begin to build their knowledge of geography by exploring the shape, size, location, and relationship of the different states.
The detailed United States puzzle map is silkscreened and laser cut for precision and durability. Laser cutting ensures accuracy and allows replacement pieces to be supplied when needed. Each state is represented by an individual puzzle piece, making it possible for children to explore the United States map in a concrete and engaging way.
Specially designed knobs on each puzzle piece are positioned at the location of the capitals of the states. This helps children become familiar with the geographical position of each state while developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness as they remove, handle and replace the pieces.
The Montessori United States Puzzle Map supports children in learning about the states of the USA through hands-on exploration and independent learning. It is an ideal Montessori geography material for classrooms and learning environments where children can develop geographical awareness, concentration and a deeper understanding of the United States of America.
