Land Form Cards Storage Box in a child's hands
A beechwood box built to hold the land form cards, with a plywood base. Land form cards come as matched pairs, island against lake, peninsula against gulf, and the pairing is the entire lesson: each form is defined by the one that is its opposite. A box that keeps the set together is what preserves that, because a pair with one card missing teaches nothing at all. Cards sold separately. Beechwood with a plywood base, for ages 3 to 6.
