Extra Flags in a child's hands
Extra Flags in blue are ten additional pin flags: plastic flags on metal pins. A pin flag is pushed into a hole in a map. In the Nienhuis catalogue, pin flags belong to the pin maps, where the child explores country names, capital names and national flags on a working map with holes for the flags. The Cabinet of the USA uses blue pin flags to mark water. The pack holds the flags only, without a map or a cabinet. Packed, it measures 12 × 8 × 1 cm. For ages 3 to 6.
Geographic Awareness
Marking specific locations helps children understand spatial relationships and develop map-reading skills.
Fine Motor Control
Precise placement of pins refines pincer grip and hand-eye coordination.
Visual Discrimination
Using colored flags to categorize locations enhances classification and organizational skills.
Abstract Thinking
Connecting flag markers to real-world locations bridges concrete and abstract geographic concepts.
How to present it
Place the world map or globe on a work mat with the container of blue flags nearby. Ensure adequate lighting for clear visibility of water features.
