Welcome to another back-to-homeschool 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.

This giveaway has ended, and the winner is Tanya who wrote: “My kids are 16 and 6. We always look at the map, which hangs in our living room, when we talk about things in the world, when read books to see where the author is from and where the story takes place, when we watch different sport events, like Olympics, when tracking our ebay orders from other countries. Also we collect packaging and envelopes with stamps from those packages for our geography boxes which my youngest loves the most. She also likes to “play” Montessori maps.”
The one word to remove from your vocabulary this school year
My kids are 6 and 8 and we study geography by looking at our globe when a different country/city is mentioned, and watch a lot of bbc documentaries!
These look really neat!

My girls are 10, 10 and 9. We do a geography fair every year and study a continent. We are trying a mapping workbook this year.
My kids are 5, 3, and 11 months. One wall of the kids bedroom is a huge world map (from skymall). We also have a blow up beach ball globe. Using these, we look up where Mommy and Daddy or other family members have traveled, or where characters or events in stories we read take place. Everything is done very informally, but we all learn so much!
My boys are 5 1/2 and almost 7. We use classical conversations and love drawing countries and states from memory!!!
My children are 12, 5 (almost 6), & 18 months. We are studying different areas from the Bible and the 50 states.
My son is 9 and we mostly learn geography with history — Story of the World and its maps.
My gals are 7, 4 and 2 months. We primarily have studied the United States, but do look up other countries as they arise in novels, stories etc. Mostly we use a few children’s atlases. Would LOVE these maps! Thank you.
I have an only, and she is 12. We study geography using a curriculum, but we don’t have any maps. I find some off the internet to use, but something like this would be so much better. Thank you for the chance to win!
My kids are 9, 11, and 13. We have a large world map on the wall in our kitchen/dining room. We discuss during meal times and look for all the places mentioned in books, news, documentaries, etc.
My kids are almost 5, 3, and newborn. We currently use 2 large maps taped on the wall, they love looking at and learning about different places!
My kids are 4 and 2 and we look at our world map whenever we reference other countries.
my daughter is 4, we haven’t started geography yet
I shared Pinit maps on Facebook.
I have a 4.5 and 6 year old. The 6 year old just finished Kindergarten this past May in a Montessori school. This is our first year homeschooling, and we don’t have much in the way of geography materials yet. These would be amazing and would help us continue the Montessori feel at home.:)
We have just begun homeschooling our 10 yr. old daughter, so as of now we are referencing our National Geographic atlas. We also have a 6,4 & 3 month old. Geography is one of our favorite topics. As a family We are always discussing places around the world and where they are located.
These sound amazing! My kids are 7, 5, 1, and not yet born. 🙂 We currently learn geography in connection with Story of the World, but I’d love to use these as well!
I have a lovely daughter who is 9 and an incredible son who is 6…. we currently have some large wall maps up and post photographs from all over the world on the different countries… it helps to visualize where all these different and amazing cultures come from.
Kids are 4, 8, 10 and 12 – 2nd year homeschooling! We are officially introducing geography this year and I didn’t have a solid plan yet – this would be perfect.
My oldest is 5 and we currently study Geography through living books, Classical Conversations, and black line maps in Story of the World. This looks beautiful! We’re a military family so we like looking at maps to see where we live/have lived/ and where Dad is at.
Last year we did trail guide but dropped it after a couple of months. I like the idea of maps and travel videos so that’s what we will try this year. I am going to use seterra online for map drills but would love a set of these maps too.
My kids are 11, 7 and almost 3.
My daughter is 6 and in first grade. Right now we’re learning about American history so we put together a puzzle of the United States and answer map questions about the state we’re looking at.
My kids are 9, 7 and almost 6. Geography mixed with history, mostly!
My kids are 8, 6, and 4 months. Right now we study geography by learning where the states are at. Next we are moving to the continents, oceans, and major countries.
My kids are 14 and 17, and my grandkids that I’m helping to homeschool are 10 and 7. We learn geography through the stories we read, the history we study, or finding the location of a current event on our kitchen world map.
My children are 8, 6 and 3. We currently use an online seterra program as well as living books to learn geography.
