Welcome to this week’s giveaway–sponsored by Pin It! Maps!
From Sara of Pin It! Maps:
“Excite your children with hands-on geography fun!
Pin It! Maps are large Montessori pin maps on foam board with colorful name and national flags. The complete student set includes 8 pin maps, 30 control maps, and 1,147 flags.
Each continent has four control maps that are labeled with one topic: country names, cities, national flags and land & water forms.
In the past they have been limited to Montessori schools because of their high cost, but this is an affordable set for homeschoolers.
Children will have fun pinning 196 National flags – every country in the world. But they won’t stop there! They will pin the names of countries, cities, oceans, rivers, and mountains.
These maps can be used for all ages.
Children can start with the seven continent flags and work their way towards pinning 331 cities around the world. This set even includes name flags for four waterfalls and 23 volcanoes.”

What a fantastic giveaway!
My two are 5 and 6 years old. We aren’t studying geography in any planned-out sort of way…we do a lot of reading and look up the places that pop up in our reading in the atlas. We recently read Beatrice’s Goat & learned about Uganda, and my 5-year-old is reading (well, being read to) about endangered animals in different parts of the world, so we look those places up, too.
