North America in a child's hands
Fifty identical outline maps of North America make up this pack. The sheet gives the contour of the continent and leaves the rest to the child, who can draw the borders in pencil, colour the areas or write the names where they belong. Each attempt gets a fresh sheet, so the work can be redone as often as the child wants. Since the sheets are identical, the first and the last attempt can be compared side by side. The paper is white, as Nienhuis lists it, and the pack weighs 600 g. For ages 3 to 6.

Children develop understanding of North America's shape and the political divisions within the continent through hands-on exploration.
