    I am glad you mentioned montessori pin map . i got one but i didn’t see it often used on other blogs online . My kids are very interested in this work , they love the flags but i still didn’t find a nice way to make this work independent and not overwhelming for them. i tried to hide all flags and keep only the ones that belong to one continent and work on one continent at a time , but i like to have some control of error for their work . any suggestion . i was thinking since it is a work they enjoy but we don’t do a lot maybe for a first step i should copy you and make individual continent pin maps , so they can focus on the one continent before give them the whole world . do you work on every country of the continent or you pick only few ???any advice regarding this work

    Hi Viv,
    I got the coloring pages from activity village. I saved them to my computer and uploaded them into a word document so there would be two smaller flags per page. As for the Montessori flag pin-map, I agree with you. It’s hard for young kids to use. I only bring it out with five or six flags, but without country names on the flags even *I* have trouble with it! 🙂 That’s why I’ve always made my own pin maps that use both the flag and the country name. When we do use the wooden map, I always sit closely with them and we put them in together. It’s not an activity my kids can do independently, but it sure did work well while coloring the flags as they did in this activity the other day.
