Colored Globe - Continents

The "Colored Globe - Continents" is an essential tool for young explorers and part of the Montessori Premium collection, known for its high-quality and carefully crafted materials. This unique educational instrument is designed to introduce children from about 3.5 years of age to the world in an interactive way. By using this globe, children become familiar with geographic concepts at a young age, sparking their curiosity about the world around them.

The globe itself is a true work of art, displaying all seven continents in different colors: North America in orange, South America in pink, Europe in red, Africa in green, Asia in yellow, Oceania/Australasia in brown, and the Arctic/Antarctica in white. This color coding is not arbitrary; it's a clever way to encourage associative learning, as used throughout the entire Montessori curriculum. These colors help children to more easily remember and recognize the different continents.

The globe is mounted on a wooden base, which holds the earth at a 23° angle, identical to the tilt of the earth's axis in relation to the sun. This detail contributes to a realistic representation of the earth and promotes a deeper understanding of the relationship between the earth and the sun. With a total size of approximately 22.5 x 15.6 x 15.6 cm and a globe diameter of about 16.5 cm, this globe is both impressive and accessible for young children.

The "Colored Globe - Continents" offers numerous learning opportunities. Children learn to see the earth as a sphere, to use and understand geographical terms, and to gain insight into the size and ratio of continents and oceans. It also encourages the development of a sense of distances between continents and the important water-to-landmass ratio. This serves as the perfect preparation for the introduction of the puzzle map of the continents, the next step in the Montessori geography curriculum.

Produced under the "Montessori Premium" flag, we guarantee that this product, including wooden parts, is FSC-certified, contributing to sustainability and responsible forest management.
