How to do it
- 1Hang the map at the child's eye level.
- 2Name a continent or ocean (e.g., 'This is South America').
- 3Read a fact about an animal or vehicle associated with that location (e.g., 'Tigers live in Asia').
- 4Allow the child to find the corresponding sticker and place it anywhere on that continent.
- 5Keep sessions short and focused, perhaps only adding stickers to one or two continents at a time.
