Cards Of The World Parts in a child's hands
Fourteen heavy plastic silk screened cards in two sets, made to move a child from the continents as objects to the continents as an idea. The puzzle map gives shapes to hold; these cards give the same shapes with nothing to hold, which is the step towards abstraction and the one most materials skip. Two sets means the child can match one against the other. Silk screened plastic. In English.

Introduces fundamental concepts of continents and world geography through visual learning.
Visual Discrimination
