Frequently Asked Questions
What size flag poles does this base accommodate?
This base is designed with a standard-sized center hole that fits most Montessori flag poles, typically 6-8mm in diameter. The hole depth provides stable support for poles up to 30cm tall.
Is this base sold with flag poles included?
No, this product is the wooden base only. Flag poles and flags must be purchased separately, allowing you to customize your geography materials based on your specific curriculum needs.
How many bases do I need for a typical flag activity?
The number depends on your activity. For continent studies, you'll need 7 bases (one per continent). For country studies or flag matching activities, consider starting with 10-15 bases to display multiple flags simultaneously.
What is the base made from and how durable is it?
The base is crafted from solid hardwood with a smooth, polished finish. Its dome shape and low center of gravity prevent tipping, making it durable enough for daily classroom use by young children.
Can this base be used for activities other than flags?
Yes, while designed for flag poles, this versatile base can hold other materials like plant stems for botany studies, color tablets on sticks, or number flags for mathematics activities.
